Got a reply re the adult Little Tern found dead at Baltray. It was ringed as a chick in Kilcoole on 22.06.05, so the bird was 4 years old. I also sent off details of the juvenile found dead, the number on the ring makes me think that it is not a Kilcoole bird, so it will be interesting to see where it came from.
Was out at Baltray this morning. There are still at least 500 terns there of mixed species.
