Swift Tern \O

The white wedge on the wing and the grey spots on the neck and the rather grey than black crest on the head make me think so.

Looks like a lovely place and you have taken some beautiful photos ^Q^ ^Q^

I love the flowers and the eland with the orange tuft on the front lol

it seems there is a bit darker :-?

I think the nests are built in these poles specialy for the Cormorants
but some were in a sort of caverne... not light enough for photo (sorry Erectus... you won't see this caverne ;-) )
