Looks like a tern, can't tell you which one, but one of the other moderators will.

Bush-hens are also much shyer than moorhens, inhabiting denser areas (I highly doubt one would live around this pond), and much more likely to be heard than seen. They also lack the white feathers that edge the wing and tail of moorhens.

Thanks Luke, and thanks @gwnoosa for the photos. FYI he’s referring to the age of the moorhen (which is not an adult bird)
