Observation details
Possible gull-billed tern in nonbreeding plumage. Short slightly forked tail and heavy black bill like a gull. Was not associating with WFTs and caspians nearby but was definitely closer to caspian size as far as I could judge. Will post photos to birdingnz tomorrow as am at beach Bach and can't upload till I get back to PN
