Difficult to tell. Bill is quite long; giss looks (to me) like hirundo. Happy to be wrong! :-) |

Bill looks too long? For Antarctic Tern (dumpier, correct) the bill length should be just shorter than the head length (on the long range, the shorter, stubbier bills are the length from the gape to just behind the eye). |
