Observation details
Medium Tern with black hood extending below the eye and down the nape of the neck, black legs and long dark primaries. We watched it fly over to the Canal beside twin Dykes and dive into the water coming up with a prey item. It flew out onto the flats and set down and dropped the prey which promptly moved away from it, but it was recaptured. it turned out to be a large frog. The Tern flew closer to us and we had great looks as it dispatched the frog and ate it.
