Fresh out from the redliner flight to Perth. Our flight was originally scheduled to take off at around 1 am, but ended up being delayed by another hour, by which time all three kids were cranky, running on fumes and tearing up the waiting lounge.
With barely four-plus hours of overnight flight time, we were all very, very tired.

Bird ID : Sumru / Common tern / Sterna hirundo
Description :
This medium-sized tern is 34-37 cm long with a 70-80 cm wingspan. It is most readily confused within its range with the similar Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea), Roseate Tern (S. dougalli), Antarctic Tern (S. vittata) and South American Tern (S. hirundinacea).
Its thin, sharp bill is red with a dark tip. Its longish legs are also red. Its upperwings show a dark primary wedge, unlike the Arctic Tern, in which they are uniformly grey. Its long tail extends only to the wingtips on the standing bird, unlike Arctic and Roseate Terns, which extend past the wingtips. It is not as pale as the Roseate Tern and has longer wings.
