Hi All,
One good Tern deserves another
it seems.
At the R Torrens outlet, one of
the small Terns there has been tentatively identified as a juv. Little Tern
because of dark primaries and leading edges to the wing.
Today they have been joined by
what appears to be a Common Tern. It is about 50% taller than the Fairy T's, and
has a prominent black shoulder patch, is darker silver-grey on it's back, and
has a longish dark, slightly downturned bill, and dark legs. It is very skittish
compared with the others.
If any Adelaide birders can get
down there to give an opinion I would be pleased. I hope to get photos
soon.
