Pelagic 8/30 TERN - Little Tern ( Lifer 546) April 2021


Terns often roost or stay inland or near coastal lines of marshland and manmade waterscapes like an abandoned fish ponds and tin mining ponds. 

It was a single bird together with a lonely Whiskered. I guess many of them have started to fly home.   The features of a dark eye mask; yellow beak with a black tip and its orange legs spells it has now changed to its breeding plumage with a white forehead. It's considered small at 25cm long but actually the Whiskered's size.
