Hi Martin & Penny,
The first photo is a beautiful shot of an adult breeding Little Tern. On the
third photo I see a non-breeding plumage Little Tern (sitting on the beach,
left) and an adult Crested Tern (standing, with open wings, right). The next
photo shows a Crested Tern (landing).
Cheers,
Nikolas

Hi All,
At Shoalhaven Heads on 6/1/2013 we observed 19 small terns, most of which
were clearly Little Terns. On reviewing our photos, we're not so sure about
one bird which appears to lack the white above the eye that our field guides
tell us is diagnostic of the Little... photos are here:

Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Martin & Penny Potter
