CommentThis Roseate Tern was one of two present at Woodman Point on the morning. The pair went fishing together and came back at different times, and though obviously a pair, they did not have much interaction and would rest alone or together alternatively. The bird is displaying breeding plumage: the all-black cap and the coral red legs. Time of capture 08:07
