Brendan sent
me a ringing recovery of a Lesser Crested Tern that we ringed as part of the
tern ringing project on Al Jarim Islands Bahrain. This project has been ongoing
for at least ten years and thousands of tern chicks have been ringed. This bird
was ringed in Bahrain in 2012 that was found injured in Sri Lanka in 2015. I
would like to thank Brendan for sending me the details that are shown below.
