    Whiskered Tern? From Hameem Beach this morning...

    in Identification problems

    Greetings again. Still working on the terns of the UAE... Just want to check and see if this is a whiskered tern? Also, can anyone recommend a guide or resource for figuring terns out?


    Many thanks!

    Oily White-cheeked Tern I think. Possibly Common Tern
