That's correct.
And I spotten a tern, actually two of them today. I have only this
photo but maybe somebody tells me which tern it is.

This looks (after I have magnified the photo), like a Roseate Tern, Sterna dougallii, to me. The bill, even when made larger looks all dark, the wings seem short (reaching only to the tail tip, and the body of the bird looks fairly stubby and compact). But I really can't be sure as the photo is distant and a bit out-of-focus.
Cheers,
Phil
