Artist:
Medium: Watercolour
Size: 410 by 296 mm
Note: The inscription refers to the Whiskered Tern, ‘leucopareia childonas hybrida’, but although the markings of the head do suggest an immature Whiskered Tern, the colouration of the plumage and size and shape of the bill almost certainly indicate that the bird is a Bridled Tern.
