Hi,
Whilst photographing the White-winged Black Tern in Crosby, over last couple of days, i was able to get a couple of quick shots of these birds. Initially i thought they too were WWBT's then i noticed the tail shapes and marks on breast/collar, (only after uploading them to my pc) and thought juvenile Black Terns, but now im not sure. Ive checked my book but see nothing with saddle markings to match these. Even Little Gulls in my book dont have same markings on back. (ok, maybe i need a new field guide...lol) I'd like to think juvenile Ross's gulls.... . The first 3 pics are the same pair/bird. The fourth one is the WWB Tern. Can anyone confirm their id for me?
Thanks in advance,
Tom
