Thanks! Unfortunately, I've just noticed, it's from Socotra, so can't be a Royal Tern (doesn't occur anywhere near there). So I looked more closely, and it's actually a Lesser Crested Tern (darker grey mantle, grey rump). What to do about it?
 
Thanks for the double-check Michael.

I'll speak to Mike about it.
 
Thank you Michael.

Done.... and I changed the common name over too.
 
I've amended them Michael.

As you see, it happens on the forum too. I've not noticed it occurring in The Opus as yet fortunately.
 
Thanks! Yep, it doesn't happen in Opus as smileys don't work in the wiki software there. I only mentioned it to save the photographer's embarrassment - I'd suspect he/she didn't know what had gone wrong :t:
