Via Bill Ramsay, I've just received photographs taken by Geoffrey Vincent of an Arctic Tern feeding on a bitumen road at Cheshunt, NE of Mansfield on the northern slopes of the Great Dividing Range, Victoria, on 26 September. It was standing on the road picking up earthworms stranded there following heavy rain!! The occurrence away from the ocean or coast is remarkable; the behaviour astonishing. But we have had much wild weather.
