Terns at Oistins

I was looking forward to this weekend’s birding - not being able to get out as much makes one appreciate each outing even more.   My plan was  to visit the Black Swifts nesting caves at Bell Point, St. Philip, but that was spoiled because of rain so a visit to Oistins Fishing Complex was the consolation.  At Oistins I saw a few birds but the highlight was watching Roseate Tern - Sterna dougallii feeding in the bay.   
Here are a few images from today.
