Approximately 5000 Sandwich Terns roosting on the mudflat in front of Panama Viejo
Observation details
I counted 5000 roosting and packed tightly together on a mudflat mixed in with about 500 gulls. They were there for several hours at a high neap tide, flying off and returning periodically. I estimated another 1000 birds much further away. I photographed a similar large flock of Sandwich Terns in the same place on February 4, 2017.
