Sex, Age, Comment | Adults and 2cy bird. The 2cy bird with the dark legs shows a rather dark leading edge to the wing, like young Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) The adults in lesser degree. Otherwise the long streamers, the very white appearance, the long black bill and the long red legs separates this species easily from other terns. Here with Brown Noddy (Anous stolidus) and Sandwich Terns (Thalasseus sandvicensis). | ||||||||||||
