Is this what I hope to be a Roseate Tern? I've seen many common terns at my reserve and the bill doesn't look quite right to me for a common tern and I can't see the long streamers common terns have.

Taken on the beach at Seahouses, Northumberland.

Best way to see Roseate Terns is via the Puffin cruise from Amble Harbour. Passes close to the nest boxes on Coquet Island, but does not land. used to be a Fiver and money well spent.
