Arctic Tern at Ferry Meadows, 21.4.08

© Mike Weedon© Will Bowell
Single bird on Gunwade Lake, where there were also plenty of Common Terns.
Note the very short legs, the deep-red (not black-tipped) bill, 'clean'-looking pale wings, with neat black trailing edge on underwing, and the tail streamers projecting beyond wings.
