Whiskered Tern (Chlidonias hybrida) A very rare visitor
This Whiskered Tern is a rare vagrant here with only around two reports in the whole country each year . This one spent a day at Dungeness RSPB where I was lucky enough to photograph it on my way home from work along with another rare visitor a Roseate Tern .. Sorry about the poor image quality (due to distance) but it does show the white area under the eye (like Whiskers) the dark under the wing and the white borders to the wing feathers .
