Arctic Terns, Cemlyn Bay, Anglesey, Wales (1 Viewer)

[Essex Tern]

Having not categorically ID’d Arctic Terns before. I am hoping I have now got my head around it and these are all Arctics?
Confirmation (or not) gratefully received.

Yes, all Arctic Terns.

Did also have one practically by my feet, streamers definitely beyond wingtips, but didn’t really want to post pics of a sick bird, very sad 🙁

Agree with Arctics. I was there yesterday evening and most of the Commics were Arctic, perhaps 90%. A few dead birds on the islands but nice to see plenty of live birds inc chicks. They can be very tame too, especially on the lower shore where if you stand still they'll often land really close and do their thing.
