White-fronted tern - metal band sight recovery


With patience white fronted tern band numbers can be read in the field. After 11 years this bird was still alive. Banded by P.Shaw (Wildlife service). Certainly having colour bands- flags would help. While terns have short tarsus, in the right circumstances band numbers can be read in the field with binoculars.
