I can't seem to find any references to 1st summer Roseates in the UK or photos of this plumage. Still need to catch up with Roseate this year so will have to come over the Cemlyn for a day soon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13927135017383938272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412851395882523391.post-69692615233876482222012-06-08T11:15:41.793+01:002012-06-08T11:15:41.793+01:00Interesting stuff Mark, and great to see Black Ter...Interesting stuff Mark, and great to see Black Tern at this time of year. Interesting fact about 1st summer Roseate Tern, I saw one at Cemlyn in 2010, July I think. Stood out very well, and I also read they weren't meant to be this far north! It was ringed too.david wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971236544110494790noreply@blogger.com
