200 Roseate Terns arrive (with video)

After rough weather, around 200 Roseate Terns arrived. They took over the rocky reef where Black-naped Terns breed every year, and there was some skirmishing between them.

This reef is not often used, but since the reef above is overflowing, there are also plenty of Roseate Terns here along with a few Black-naped Terns.
