- Title
SOME OBSERVATIONS ON A TERN COLONY.
- Authors
Rowan, William
- Abstract
This article offers information regarding the tern colony. The study was carried out in 1913 on Blakeney Point, Norfolk. It aims to determine some of the laws that control the choice of site, the nesting materials, and the pigmentation of eggs by using a census. Previous studies provides the basis for the methods employed and the improvements in method suggest themselves, and the future work should prove of decided value. The study is a systematic attempt at such a census and publishes the results mainly as a suggestion to ornithologists and workers in Animal Ecology.
