gull and tern?

[buzzbee]

Got a curious question. Ive been watching a few wild life programs and im struggling to see the differance between a black headed gull and a tern (i think thats what its called?) Can anyone tell me the differance ? Apart from the name!

Totally different m8, Terns are lightly built with long wings and tails, usually forked.
The Terns also have longer beaks than the gulls and have shorter legs.
They do not scavenge like gulls and normally catch small sand eels and fish fry by skimming the water and catching them in their beak.
If i were you i would go out and buy a bird watchers guide book, you do not want to be flying at unlawful quarry!
