| Elegant Tern, Devon, Dawlish 18/07/02 © Jim Lawrence
These shots suggest to me that this bird is different to that in Norfolk and the same as the bird seen at Dawlish on May 18th. Note bill length, colours & structure and length of crest. |

Elegant on basis of contrast between rump and mantle, long bill that sometimes looks decurved, large size (larger than Sandwich) & head pattern. |

| Elegant Tern ?, Kerry, Ireland, Dingle Harbour 20/10/02 © John Coveney
This bird was found on 19/10/02 and is considered by some to be a probable lesser crested tern. Coments on ID and age (moulting into 2nd winter?) would be welcome. |
