Tame Tern

This bird flew past my shoulder on the west Sands early this morning and landed at my feet, it was very docile. I wondered if it was maybe injured.It's a juvenile common tern and quite scarce this year due to the unsuccessful breeding on the Isle of May.

Thanks to John Anderson for the help re id and for the info re scarcity
