Arctic Tern

Short legs when perched on a bouy , no carpal bar on the wings , translucent underwings , long forked tail and blood red bill with no back tip . BOOM get in there .... Asbury's first Arctic Tern ninety species for the year and counting. A phone call from Jack saying he had a Tern in the middle of the mere but couldn't clinch the ID , so I quickly called Mark and soon we were all on site and along with Russell another local birder and some on site photos we managed to clinch the ID of our first Arctic Tern. My images below are at a great distance and in poor light but manage to show all the points mentioned above well done lads beers on me.
