Long Nanny

.

.
This is the warden's hut at the bird sanctuary at Long Nanny, near Newton Links and on Beadnell Bay on the Northumberland coast. A large number of Arctic Terns and smaller numbers of Little Terns breed there. National Trust wardens mount a 24-hour watch to prevent
disturbance to the colony there during the breeding season
