Hi Robin (I really hope I've got the name right!)

More detail needed, as it's not a common one.

Size of bird, area (coastal / urban etc.), what was it doing, did you see it fly, if so how did it fly, was it captive (in a wildlife park), or in the wild. etc.

Interesting one, and I'd like to know as well!

It isn't a stuffed one is it, and you're just winding us up?

All the best, Mike.

The best place for seeing Inca Terns locally is Bristol Zoo!

Youre making me laugh again Mike. Took this at Bristol Zoo but made no note of what it was...seems Mr Hodson was spot on and lightning quick too
Ive got another which I may bob up but I suspect will be a lot harder

Re: Bird ID needed

I wouldn't have known and would probably have had to wade through the reference books to find it.

Re: Bird ID needed

I took a few of them last year at Bristol Zoo so had a heads up already :)
