Whiskered Terns, Beira Lake

Thursday 08 March 2007 Beira Lake from Navam Mawatha

I was on my way into office around 7.10 am when I noticed a large flock of terns. There were around 50 plus Whiskered Terns. I pulled over and examined them without the aid of optics. I could not see any Little Terns or White-winged Black Terns. About 20 plus Spot-billed Pelicans were also in the water. An Intermediate Egret had the filamentous feathers on the back it acquires during breeding plumage. Little Egrets and Pond Herons were also present.
