Birding for fun
Confirmation with these terns from Negombo or Galle last week. Mainly whiskered, I suspect, but gull billed, too. Anything else? Thanks in advance
Cheers,
Jono

#1 Gull-billed and #4 Whiskered.
The others are a different sp. of sterna tern, possibly Common Tern but I'm not sure of the other possibilities in that part of the world?
