Observation details
Bird was initially observed by Keith Archibald and myself from the boat ramp. The tern eventually passed over again showing the black wrap-around mask characteristic of COTE for the time of year (FOTE would show more of a black "smudge" over the eye). Subsequent photo showed other characteristics of COTE, specifically the long wingtips that extended beyond the tail (FOTE would exhibit a longer tail).
