Fw: Little Tern and Fairy Tern at Penrhyn Road

Hi Birders,

Forwarded for information.

However in respect to Tony's comments about the Fairy Tern's colour bands, I 
would say that in my extensive experience in managing Little Tern colonies, 
colour-banded Little Terns live long lives and those colour-banded on the 
Central Coast have been tracked to many other colonies over the years and 
the banding does not appear to impede their breeding success or their 
longevity.
