The bird was easily confirmed as the Mayo bird as it was also a second summer plumaged bird carrying an injured right leg. It is a third record of the species for Ireland and only the second live bird.

Royal Tern
Mayo's Royal Tern of last week became Kerry's Royal Tern yesterday(23/8/16) when Davey Farrer located the bird first seen at Roonagh in Co. Mayo on 16/8/16, at Beale Strand in north Kerry. Davey has a great record with rare Tern finds including the fabulous Elegant Tern in the same area in September 2013.
