| Remarks : | Little Terns have been sporadically recorded in Nagpur - one theory is that they stay over for a short period while migrating whenever the rains in the central Indian region are heavy. In 2005 there was a flock of about 40 birds which stayed for about 3 weeks from 25th June to 17th July |
