It is a Common Tern with unusually pale upperwing, probably caused by unusual moult (younger adult). The pattern on the underwing is typical with rather broad, but diffuse trailing edge to the hand -Arctic would have shown much narrower dark trailing edge, and is is the only ofter tern with such a dark underbody: both Roseate and ForsterĀ“s are much paler here. <BR/> <BR/>Best wishes<BR/>Klaus.Mark Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00526982312968173559noreply@blogger.com
