Observation details
Continuing bird? Presumably one of the two reported 31/7. Bird was resting on sand spit. Difficult to see details because of dull light and distance (30m?) from bird. Small tern, basically upperparts grey and underparts white; short legs, appeared to be black; short sharp bill appeared to be black; crown nicely rounded, extensively white, joining white lores; rear of crown and nape black; insignificant dark carpal bar. Viewed only briefly in flight when showed white uppertail contrasting with grey back and wings. The degree of dark trailing edge to the primaries, and the area and amount of translucency in the primaries were not seen.
