Yosef Kiat, of the Israeli Bird Ringing Center, reports that a Common Tern that was ringed as part of a Spring 2017 project in Israel was found on the 12th February at Mvoti estuary, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (6,883 km) by Darren Van Eyssen and Nick Schaller. The red line on the image denotes this Tern's journey, while the orange lines are for those of terns spotted in recent years.
Look out for white, green, red, black, and yellow rings with the letters, I or G on the legs of terns that are wintering in the southern hemisphere at the moment, and report them to the Israeli Bird Ringing Center: ibrc.israel@gmail.com.
