| Résumé : | Records of breeding Elegant Terns Thalasseus elegans at L'Albufera de Valencia, in eastern Spain, are described. At least eight different adult Elegant Terns have been recorded in the breeding season since 2006. As well as mixed pairings with Sandwich Terns T. sandvicensis, nine pure pairs of Elegant Terns occurred between 2009 and 2018, rearing a total of seven juveniles. These are the first, and so far the only, pure breeding pairs of Elegant Terns in the Western Palearctic. |
