One of the best reasons to go to Sri Lanka is the opportunity to photograph the tern species that are stunning, common and beautiful and for an Englishman abroad, very exotic. The fish market in Negombo is one of the best places to photograph Whiskered Tern, they are attracted to the beach here because of the White Bait industry that goes on there on the beach.

On my last trip I photographed Whiskered, Gull-billed, Caspian, Roseate, Swift, Lesser Crested and Brown Noddy Tern, 7 different Tern species…..more Tern photos to follow in the coming days.
