Common Tern or Long John Silver?

When this Common Tern landed on the ground in front of me, I found this image quite amusing as it reminded me of some old movies. Those of us of a certain age may remember the actor Robert Newton's performances as Long John Silver, which gave rise to most pirates being portrayed with a West Country accent and the classic phrase "Arrr, Jim Lad!"

Taken in the Aire Valley, West Yorkshire.
