13th August 2011: Cham Islands near Hoi An
For Falk's wedding to Leanne we spent a few days near Hoi An. Birding highlight was a day trip to the Cham Islands. Although little was seen on the islands themselves, owing to high midday temperatures, a few terns were seen from the boat:
Bridled Tern 20
Black-naped Tern 40
Sooty Tern 1
Common Tern 2
Whiskered Tern 1
Little Tern 6
The next day at least 20 Whiskered Terns passed south off the beach.

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.
