At Marlay Point, Lake Wellington, Gippsland, on Sunday, we saw two
smaller terns with many cresteds. One was larger than the other, and
being the world's worst at identifying these things I emailed Mike
Carter. Mike came up to have a look, and yesterday we watched up to 8 in
widely varying plumage. Mike suggested it would be a useful exercise to
put up photos for interested people to have a look and comment on the
species. The smaller terns were feeding well out in the lake in company
with the cresteds.
The photos are here,

The first four images show the ones we saw on Sunday, the rest are from
yesterday's visit. Feel free to comment, and Mike will elucidate in due
course. DF.
