Bridled and Black-naped Terns - Hoi An

Having a quick drink at the Victoria Hotel on Hoi An beach on Saturday (July 23rd 2010) Martin Fowlie (BirdLife) and I saw at least two Black-naped Terns and at least one Bridled Tern flying along the coast, close to shore.

Looking off shore, the two islets at the northern end of the Cham islands (Cu Lao Cham) look uninhabited and a possible nesting site for terns and other seabirds. It would probably be worth checking out those islets at some point, given that it has been possible to arrange boat trips to the Cham islands for several years now.
