I got some photos on the first day in poor light, then went back next day in sunshine to try for an improvement. The quality isn't great, but the content is interesting.The wwbt is on the left. A common tern is in the foreground and a couple of Sandwich terns on the right. But what is that bird just behind the common tern? The one with the black bill, the pinkish blush on the breast, the pale plumage and the black primaries?There can't be many photographs of these two species standing next to each other in the WP.</blockquote>
