Observation details
Adult male showed several times for long flights. Stole a fish from a Sandwich Tern. On another occasion, engaged in a long and, at times high, flight with a Sandwich Tern, gliding on raised wings, flapping wings exaggeratedly and slowly; when landed, cocked head to the Sandwich Tern. Long, bright and slightly decurved bill noted, along with white rump in flight and shaggy crest. Outer primaries old, worn and therefore darker - subtle dark trailing edge created by secondaries and from underneath the outer primaries.
