Media notes
Both Australian Terns, one on the left and one on the right.
Observation details
Initially the birds alternated bathing and then preening among the roosting Caspian Terns. After I returned from checking the eastern shore only one still present, which took to the air giving good flight views, showing some black in the primary tips. Both were adults in breeding plumage with black cap, bill (chunky) and legs. Mostly white with upper wing light grey. First observed in the Koona Bay area on the 2/04/24 by Brian Deans.
