The following two photos were taken near Cooks Bay in Keswick. I saw two terns that were smaller in size and slender in shape compared to a Caspian Tern. Also, the forked tail made me wonder. The quality of the photos isn't that good because of heavy cropping. Hope it is enough to Id this Tern. Thanks in advance

Looks like Forster's Tern with the pale upper wings and deeply forked tail. Nice!
