On our way back home from Llandudno we called in at Gronant Beach, As we approached the roped off area, we were surprised that we could not hear any noise from the tern colony. The noise from the tern colony at Cemlyn Bay could be heard a long way off.
We heard the call of little terns and saw a couple flying into the nesting area, followed a few minutes later by another 3 terns, and that was it, no more sound or sightings of terns. We scanned the nesting area and saw a couple of oystercatchers and a single ringed plover. We assumed that we were too early in the season for the majority of the terns.
On our way back to the car park we had excellent views of a skylark.

A pleasant way to end our trip with 86 birds on our trip list.
