Sooty Tern

From the Ma Liu Shui to Tap Mun Ferry today,  feeding with Bridled, Black-naped and Roseate Terns.

(Mike Leven has pointed out that this is a first summer bird, NOT a juvenile)

Two Sooty Terns

Thanks, everyone !

Graham Talbot saw TWO Sooty Terns yesterday from the shore at Ma On Shan.

Reviewing my shots - the first three photos are of the same individual, taken on the morning ferry circuit.

This fourth shot - compare with the first - shows an individual with more of a scaly back and more white around the face. It was taken on the afternoon ferry trip.
