Caspian Tern / Reuzenstern (Hydroprogne caspia)
This was a difficult shoot: declining light and a very hazy sky, but the Caspian Tern is not a common bird here and it's a first and a lifer, so I shot him anyway. :)
I put one other shot in a note.
Edit: I just added a note with a Common Tern to show the difference.

I can't tell the difference between the two types but I bet one is a slightly different size or I'm not noticing a key difference. They are both lovely. Grats on getting these pictures!!!! *high five*
LOL, just read the comment you wrote above...*cackle* YES, it's a size difference! :D What would I do without you?! :D

Oh, and look at the bill. The Caspian Tern has a much more massive bill than the Common Tern.
Thank you so much for your great comment, Janet.
