J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hi Kay, Although it looks a little like an Artic tern i think that there is a good chance that its a Common Tern. Nice pic... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I could be wrong, it MIGHT be an Arctic, but the common terns are the ones that seem to travel to inland waters, from what i have heard. So you might be right... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So you might be right... It did say that the artic ones come inland but not normally this far in .. i will have a look on the local wildlife website & see if they have one recorded for the area .. they dont usually miss a thing if its about Quote Link to post Share on other sites
