Arctic and little terns are breeding well but nests are still being disturbed, wildlife rangers say.

Seabirds have had a "very successful" breeding season on the Cumbrian coast following a challenging few years.

The trust said the number of chicks fledging was up at both South Walney Nature Reserve and Foulney Island Nature Reserve near Barrow.Seasonal wardens recorded kayakers paddling into no-access areas, microlights and drones, all of which they said could cause birds to panic and leave their nests, sometimes abandoning them for good.

The 2023 breeding season was described as a "great result" by the trust with six little terns fledging at Foulney Island and 10 fledging at South Walney.
