Hello everybody,

can you help me with the following terns, please? I think It could be Bridled Terns, Lesser Crested-Terns and White-cheeked Terns.

Seen in Egypt, Red-Sea near Marsa Alam, Qulaan Islands (30.9.14)

Thanks a lot,
Christoph

Yes i think it's correct.
Lesser crested and white cheeked on the beach and juv bridled flying.
I've been in the Qulaan last year in April but was too early for terns, hope to go early.

Thanks a lot, Marco and Dave!

@ Marco: I think September/October is a good time to watch birds, there - at the harbour of Hamata we could also see a lot of White-eyed Gulls, some western reef-egrets and 4 Crab Plovers!
