\n\tAn American Black Tern – Chlidonias surinamensis, had been frequenting Covenham Reservoir for some time and having just got back from Shetland and the bird still around, it was worth the trip to this reservoir in Lincolnshire.<\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAmerican Black Tern looks very similar to our Black Tern with the exception of some very subtle plumage differences. Dark flanks and a grey underwing, a lack of a solid dark cap with a paler crown. Paler sides to the crown.
