Hello,
again: thanks for sharing your nice and interesting pictures!

Please note that this is a Whiskered Tern, clearly smaller than a Common Tern in direct comparison.
Its extremly rare for a Common Tern to have such dark underparts like this bird here.

One example of such a bird is here, with a helpful comment from Klaus Malling Olsen (thanks from here and to all who commented at that time!): Club300 Germany
