Observations were made from the shore and from RV Bernicia of foraging activities of Arctic terns, common terns, sandwich terns and puffins in waters adjacent to the breeding colony at Coquet Island (Northumberland). Each species fished up to 20-25 km offshore but tended to forage closer to Coquet Island in July, when chicks were fledging, than in June, before fledging occurred. Terns also exploited the littoral zone, taking fish mostly from shallow pools on the receding tide: arctic and common terns tended to feed higher up the shore than sandwich terns.
