Sandwich Tern
The Sandwich Tern is a very white tern with a black cap on its head, a long black bill with a yellow tip and short black legs. In flight it shows grey wedges on its wings tips and it has a short forked tail.
In the UK, many of the important colonies survive because they are established on nature reserves.
Sandwich Terns can be seen from late March to September and there are breeding colonies scattered around the UK coasts including the north Norfolk coast and at Minsmere in Suffolk and Dungeness in Kent.
