181 Caspian Tern 紅嘴巨鷗
Is the middle one with large red beak and black cap a Caspian Tern? Its size is not as big as described in book. In addition, the farther large gull with "spots" looks larger than it.

Yes it is a Caspian Tern.
Do you have any more pix of the egret on the left of the first photo - it looks like it has a yellow bill and made me think of Chinese Egret. Please post any more photos of theis egret if you have them
Many thanks
Mike

牠的紅色嘴巴比其他燕鷗大及粗，只有紅咀巨鷗才有這樣的咀。
Its big and thick bill distinguishes the Caspian Tern from other tern.
