Abstract:
Bridled tern (Sterna anaethetus) and Black-naped tem (S. sumatrana) populations were monitored on Pulau Tukong Ara Wildlife Sanctuary from April to August, 1989. Nest sites were marked and rechecked regularly for chicks. The tern populations have increased substantially since 1986. Bridled terns had a hatch success of 33% and Black-naped terns had a hatch success of 40%. Renesting occurred after the disappearance of eggs between 29 April and 11 May. No obvious signs of human disturbance were noted during the study period.
