During Springtime over 500,000 birds gather here to mate and nest. As we sat quietly bobbing about and taking photos of the Terns and Gulls coming and going. On occasion a Tern would return from sea with an anchovy and present it to their mate. After consuming the fish they would perform an elegant mating ritual.
