More terns... 16 AUG 2015

Again, going to Sai Kung for terns photos. At first we didn't see any except two Black-naped Tern Sterna sumatrana and at least 3 adult White-bellied Sea Eagle Haliaeetus leucogaster. 1.5 hours later, we finally got a group of mixed terns, mainly Roseate Tern Sterna dougallii.

The sea eagle:

There were more roseate than black-naped today.

I wish to take some perching birds, which are easier for me, and also some juveniles.

Roseate tern has a more whitish plumage (or rosy), slender bill, longer tail, which is easy to be distinguished from Common Tern Sterna hirundo.

Never forget the black-naped terns.
