Observation details

3rd cy bird resting among Arctic terns on a little islet. Due the difficult moult, sound recording is needed to confirm species. Based off my encounter, the alarm call was reminiscent of Least, but flight calls were mostly reminiscent of Little. Has so far not been relocated since Monday.
