Tern Colony Strand/Macassar

The tern colony at Strand/Macassar (end of Strand Beach) is very active at present. There must be 15.000 birds, I guess. Looks like they are starting to assemble for the big trek north. Its an awesome sight, especially in the early hours of the evening. If you live in the Western Cape, you have to see it before they leave.
