inca tern

Having had a little think and a little play on Google, I think my rather drab bird I posted is the juvenile of the bird bottom right, an Inca Tern, whose photo I had taken but not posted on 365. (Nothing is to scale!)

Here are the photos:

It certainly looks like your theory is correct. Great images.

I think you're right too- the marking on the side of the head is very distinct and the juvenile looks like it is beginning to develop it. All very nice photos by the way!!

Isn't google wonderful, I have no idea how we did without it, I use it all the time! So good to know, we learn all the time! I must say I have not seen that bird before!

I think you are right too, Hazel. Your first post intrigued me, and I quite enjoy trying to identify mysterious birds and bugs posted on 365, but just not had time to sit down and look for yours

Lovely montage haze. Google knows everything...where I park my care where I live what wine I like where I shop what football team I support 😀

Beautiful, detailed shots! Also, you're absolutely right, this is definitely an inca tern juvenile and adult - I have the pleasure of helping to look after some of these gorgeous birds at weekends. :)
