Last week I photographed Terns from the Marine World platform on the outer reef. I am unclear how many species I found - somewhere from 4 to 7. Certain were Common Noddy, Bridled Tern and Greater Crested Tern but I was unclear if a few of the Terns were faded Sooty Terns. In addition there is a Tern in flight showing very pale upperparts [?over-exposure] and 2 perched Terns [?Black-naped and Roseate or 2 of either perhaps]. I would value any expert opinions.
Firstly the rear Tern in the first 2 shots
Secondly the Tern in the front of shots 3 and 4
