I have just been looking through the BOU List to update my Collins guide with the new scientific names for some species. Whilst going through the list, I noted that American Little Tern or Least Tern - Sterna antillarum but now Sternula antillarum was not on the list. Just in case it was out of order somewhere, I did a 'find on this page' for all sorts of possibilities and did not find. The Collins guide suggests that a bird was present in the years 1983 to 1992 and these sightings may have been the same bird over several years. Presumably it was not accepted or is it an error that it is not in the list? Can anyone enlighten me or have I missed something?
