Observation details
Sorry, these are terrible point-and-shoot photographs. Three small terns, smaller than the nearby Black-fronted Tern (also in the photo). Overall shape made them a typical Sternula. Bill appeared somewhat shorter in relation to head size (when compared to Little Tern). Eye-line ended bluntly just before the eye contrasting to white lores. Upperparts appeared very pale grey and P10 appeared significantly paler than in Little Tern. All three NZ Fairy Terns were colour-banded. Unfortunately, I did not have a scope or high-res camera with me and therefore wasn't able to document the code.
