This morning I received a call from a couple of visiting Dutch birders to
notify that they saw a probable Black Tern in a flock of Whiskered at
Samsonvale Cemetery. The bird is in first-winter plumage and both birders
feel very confident in identifying all 3 species of 'Chlidonias' marsh terns
so there must be a good chance that it is genuine.

Currently Lake Samsonvale is rapidly filling after all the storms, so the
terns have probably recently arrived.

Will check it out myself this afternoon,

Tom
