RSPB is looking for volunteers to help protect the Arctic tern colony at Dalchalm, on the outskirts of Brora.
The charity wants to undertake some work in the area in advance of the birds’ 2020 breeding season.
It is hoped to create an alternative nesting area as well as erect post and rope fencing on the beach.
In addition new signage is to be erected.
Three days have been set aside for the work to be carried out - Monday and Tuesday, March 2 and 3 and Friday, April 3.
However these days are weather dependent.
Anyone who has time to spare on these dates is asked to contact Bea Ayling for further information.
Either ring her on 01463 715000 or email: bea.ayling@rspb.org.uk
Arctic terns have nested at Dalchalm for many years. For the past decade RPSB Scotland and partners have worked to increase the likelihood that tern chicks will be successfully reared and fledged there.
