Will the Terns be left in peace this year?

I am always excited to watch the Little Terns return to their breeding ground on the Church Norton spit but am always nervous for them knowing how easily disturbed they can be. These birds can desert en masse if  upset and although fencing and notices have been placed by the RSPB it still does not deter some people. Last night I took this photo at 6.00pm

This morning I looked out and even at 9.00 a.m . people were walking the spit, probably unaware of the precarious state of LittleTerns in West Sussex or indeed the UK.
....and then at about 6.30 pm tonight

...canoe's

what chance for the terns?

However, on the Pagham Spit  the Linnets are building nests, 2 pairs of Ringed Plovers are holding territories and 2 pairs of Greenfinches are 'looking' .

A few summer plumage Dunlins were on the shoreline

 and a Whitethroat showed its face in the gorse.

A Cuckoo was calling from 'the other side' and it was a pretty idyllic morning!
