Yes and no Nikolas.
Yes the name 'marsh tern' often refers to terns of the genus Chlidonias, which contains Whiskered, Black, and White-winged Tern. However Marsh Tern is in fact the old Australian name for Whiskered Tern 'Chlidonias hybridus' i.e. that which appeared in the field guides, etc.
Out of interest Whiskered Tern is also sometimes known as the Black-fronted Tern.

Hi Max,
"Marsh Terns" summarizes all three species of Chlidonias: Whiskered, Black, and White-winged Tern.

Hi everyone.
On the brochure for the bird routes of the Pilliga, it says there are occasionally Marsh Terns at Carmel Lagoon. Is the name Marsh Tern just an old name for Whiskered Tern or something else?
Max.
