Observation details
Theis very rare and endangered species has now been observed at this sandy cay on most of the last six Palearctic winters in company with a group of Great Crested Terns. The photograph is in my opinion diagnostic and compares well with the nearby Great Crested Terns. Even from some distance this bird stood out; it looked much paler and slightly larger. Upon close inspection it was possible to note the bill colour and the distinctive black tip.
