Lately I have been seeing quite a few Least Terns fishing in Grand Case Bay and then flying inland. Perhaps they are nesting in the Salines de l’Aéroport. With a large area of mudflat, this pond offers plenty of good nesting areas for terns and a variety of shore birds as well.
If there is a nesting colony of least terns, I hope they do better than the colony I monitored last year at Caye Château. There, sixteen nests with eggs were gone within two weeks and the colony was abandoned.
