[QUOTE="gareth_blockley, post: 1570434, member: 47061"] [b]American Black Tern AND White-winged Black Tern![/b] Photos now on RBA and surfbirds - by Ian Lewington. I think Ian ID'd the American Black tern (juv) which came in after the white winged black tern (juv) to join the group of three black terns (1 adult 2 juvs). I saw the birds yesterday evening and although I knew nothing about the ID of 'surinamensis' it was easily distinguished along side normal 'nigra' black terns. For some ID points see here [url]http://www.birdinghawaii.co.uk/Blackternarticle2.htm[/url] (I'm sure there must be more ID articles about?). Also around yeturday 3/4 Redstarts and masses of wagtails - well over 100 Pied and c.20 Yellow. 40+ Yellow reported this morning. Also Yellow legged gull. Will be going back today (when I'm less hungover!) to see the birds in good light. Happy happy birding Gareth [/QUOTE]
