Mark Boorman has been in touch to let me know that he has just found an ELEGANT TERN at Mile 4 Salt Works in Swakopmund. This is still a mega species to get for Southern Africa with previous records at Strandfontein Sewage Works, Velddrift and the exact same site in Swakopmund.
I’m not sure how many people are going to chase this one (I would imagine a number of the Namibian subscribers will), but good luck if you do go and keep us updated!
Kind regards
Trevor
