Roseate Tern, a new one!

A different Roseate Tern and although it's impossible to get on the sunlit side of the terns, I think these are better even though I asked too much of the 1.7 teleconverter. There are many Roseate photos below, this one's beak is developing the red base, and it appeared to be without any juvenile/s. I've put some Roseate photos at both ends of this post with a mix in between.

Meadow Pipit, thought to be feeding a juvenile Cuckoo, I couldn't find it though
