I observed three terns on the 30th September at Jervis Bay NSW

Pictures of the birds can be seen at

http://picasaweb.google.com/bramhall78/Terns

They were hawking around the edge of the beach and occasionally over the trees. 
 They never dived.  They had forked tailed and darker margins to wings in 
flight.  I had thought they were whiskered tern however the pictures in books 
seem to show a much darker breast.

I would appreciate any help that can be given

thanks

Peter
