Observation details
Rare but regular in late May-early July at favored locations near large tern colonies. Slightly smaller than adjacent Common Terns. Second summer individual with extensive black cap which enclosed the eye and dark spotting on the forehead. All black bill, slightly long for an Arctic Tern, rounded head and noticeably short black legs. Photos to follow.
