  3. Sooty/Bridled Tern

    Number observed:  1

    Details

    1 very likely – not to say quite certain – adult Sooty Tern. Uniform blackish upperparts/wings, immediately apparent and clearly different from the dark-brown Bridled Terns, seen (although not together) under the same and good light conditions, which were subdued sunny. Too far to see exact details of head pattern, but impression was of being a-typical or odd for Bridled. This impression likely due to shorter supercilium, which gives head pattern slightly different appearance. Straight to NE. Picked-up a little too late; looked at it for too long to have time left for any decent photos. Without clear photos it might be prudent to put this one on ‘very likely’ or ‘probably’ only. However, without a doubt the only individual so far that made me think of adult Sooty Tern right away.
