26/4/19 RAKLH - Which Small Tern

4 comments

Probably either a 'Little' or 'Saunder's' Tern. Definitely a small one. I would plump for Saunder's because of the darker feet. Lucky to even get this image - so quick and agile.

@Bob Davies Great article. Link added to the UAE page, thanks. Interesting to see the mention (again) of all black primary shafts of Saunders's Tern: some of our photos shows white shaft......

Pipits at Hamraniyah Carpet Grass Field - Saturday 2 November 2019
Its that time of year again when the pipits are her - I always struggle with them. The majority seen here this morning were clearly Red-throated and a couple of Tawny, but I would be grateful for advice on the following: Bird 1 Bird 2 Bird 2 Bird 3 Bird 4 Bird 5 Bird 5 Bird 6 Bird 7 Bird 7 Bird 8 Many thanks Steve
