Observation details

dark tubby bird with a pointy tail flying snappily, falcon-style, slightly longer in the wing than the Royal tern it decided to harass. closeness to shore, and the fact that the white wing patches weren't so clear, pushed my call towards PAJA. Found second bird when processing pictures.
