The Lake Bant tern colony is a breeding colony of common terns at Lake Bant in the port city of Wilhelmshaven, north-western Germany. It is the subject of a long-term research project carried out by the Institute of Avian Research .
The colony breeds on six concrete islands, which were originally used as a loading dock for the now abandoned U-boat harbour at Banter See. The site is protected as a natural monument of the city. The colony was attracted to the site in 1984 using taped lures, after their previous breeding site had been destroyed.
