Observation details
Continuing rarity. Large tern with decurved red bill, short white moustache, dark legs and feet. Molting worn feathers and into adult plumage. Observed roosting inside cave along sea cliffs while hanging from cliff diving ladder. Managed a few photos but low early morning light and swinging ladder made quality photos difficult. Later it flew out to wooden cliff diving platform and got handouts from fisherman. PERU! Added: bird was actively foraging offshore and catching fish on its own.
