Observation details
Well!!! Given the huge numbers of Noddies in funny places lately, I knew from weeks ago that I was going to have to do a bit of a sea watch to try my luck... and there, lo and behold, the moment I started looking, a big old brownish-black Tern with a frosty white cap was very dynamically and buoyantly swooping up and down into the waters out in the bay!!! Its grace and lilting flight were almost more Butterfly-like than that of the usual Cresteds... it was a way off, but I still bagged some ID-able photos, and absolutely revelled in the fact this was my first Noddy since my Dunk Island trip thirteen years ago!!!
