Observation details

Adult in breeding plumage with two Common Terns. Overall much 'whiter' than the two Common Terns with a brighter bill and dark tip. Underparts looked white compared to the gray underparts of Common Tern. Also appeared to have longer, whiter tail feathers. Photos (Forster's is the rightmost bird in these two shots).
