Misc birds, SW Norway (1 Viewer)

A few misc birds to ID from the Stavanger & Bergen areas this past week.

1 & 2: Common Tern? I believe Arctic should also be present so just wanted to check this wasnt a candidate. From Stavanger
3 & 4: A bit stumped with these? From the fjord near Flam. I have a few more shots of these but similarly mehhh quality
Video: White-Tailed Eagle? Also from near Flam

3&4 are Black Guillemots.

Hello,

first Tern is difficult and I hope for more comments. If forced, I would opt for Common Tern.
Second is a Common Tern imo. I see the darkish wedge on the outer primaries with a well demarcated contrast (because different generation feathers). Although picture quality might well enhance that, it looks real=good to me.

Ah I forgot to mention, 1 & 2 are different photos of the same bird, so if one is a common the other better had be too!

No. 1 seems to have a black tip to the bill, a pro-Common feature, and the head shape is possibly better for Common Tern, too: Common, Arctic and Roseate Terns photo ID guide.

I don't know about the WTE.
