Hello to all,

I went to Samar Island this weekend and encountered two tern and 1 plover species that i have difficulty identifying. One of the terns could be the black naped tern, but i don't know the 2nd one. Any help would do.

Thanks!!!

allan

1: Could be either Kentish Plover or Malaysian Plover. It's difficult to tell without seeing whether the black collar extends all the way round the neck (Malaysian), or stops halfway (Kentish). I would say Malaysian though.
2: Common Tern
3: Common Tern
4: Common Tern
5: Black-naped Tern
