Observation details

Common Terns were gathered in a mixed flock of (mainly) Sandwich, plus Royal and a few Caspian, resting on Disappearing Island. Small white forehead patch, black cap, black bill, dark carpal bar, and smaller than a Sandwich Tern. Also gave chirpy call. Photo sent photo out to an ornithologist for confirmation.
