White-cheeked Tern (Sterna repressa)Observer
brianjameskaustDescription
Seen amongst a large group of terns some of which were Saunders's, Swift, Lesser Crested and Common. Some birds had distinctly dark undersides. We were unsure if this bird was a Common Tern giving the impression of White-cheeked because it is squatting or a White-cheeked.
