      Langstone Harbour, Southmoor, Havant.

      This part of the coastline is very shallow at high tide and is full of various sea weeds. Shoals of young fish are attracted to this area which in turn attracts the Tern. I have arrived a little late but nontheless found one Tern fishing. This one had exhausted one area and was on its way to find another hence the none head down flight.
