- National Trust figures show England's most important tern colonies are recovering after years of decline caused by bird flu, flooding, and increasingly unpredictable weather.
- Tern numbers are on the rise, but the National Trust says there is still work to be done to secure the colonies' future.
Why it matters: Tern colonies are indicators of coastal ecosystem health in England; their recovery after compounding threats — disease, flooding, and weather disruption — suggests conservation efforts are gaining traction, though the National Trust's own caveat that 'work still to be done' signals the turnaround is fragile.
