Observation details
I had originally identified these birds as Whiskered Terns. Regional data reviewer Desmond Allen emailed me to say the DSCN3569 picture I included actually showed 5 Little Terns in non-breeding plumage. The birds were mostly resting, although I observed others diving for food. I've attached a few additional photos of other birds. Overall, I believe I observed these 5 and I would say at least 3 other unique individuals. So I've changed the count to 8, although I believe there could easily have been 10 individuals. The birds were on the limestone crust of the tidal flat, about 20 meters from the water.
