Breeding tern colonies on the sandbars of Adam’s Bridge, India: new records and significance
We conducted surveys on the Indian side of Adam’s Bridge sandbars that separate Rameswaram Island of India and Sri Lanka, in collaboration with the forest department. We report new breeding colonies of five tern species: Greater Crested, Saunder’s, Roseate, Little, and Bridled Terns. Preliminary surveys (2023) followed by rigorous surveys (2024) confirm these sandbars as critical breeding habitats.
