Forster's Terns

Forster's Tern
Rockledge, Fl

Forster's terns are medium sized terns that are found in Florida during the winter. I found this Forster's tern along the shore of the Indian River in early January. There was a small group of them among a larger group of Royal Terns and Laughing gulls.

    I have never seen one, A MEGA of a bird for parts of Britian. Well captured shots. A little jealous that every shot has bright blue sky and looks very warm!!! compred to England, cold and raining hard.

    Another lovely set Tammy, I was lucky to see one of these over here many years ago, it was a winter bird, that mask is so distinctive :-)
