By my calculations, it't a bit early to be talking about the possibility
of affinis. I would have expected no earlier than late Oct or early Nov.
They have a long way to come, surely? When is the earliest they have
been seen in Broome, Adrian?

Hi Adrian, Sav& everyone else
No affinis birds in the photos that I could discern either.
It would be worth checking for them though in future amongst these Aust birds,
as now is about the time of year that we start to get a few affinis here in
Cairns, amongst the Aust birds.
I will be keeping a close eye on the terns at Cairns Esplanade in the next
month or so, checking for any arriving affinis - I will, of course, put a post
on B-aus when I find some up here.
I know that Jill, for one, is pretty keen to catch up with this bird... They
have in the past stayed at least for a few weeks in the same locations...
Cheers for now

Hi Sav and Jill
Any idea on what subspecies they are that are passing through?
Cheers Adrian

Additionally, Birding Aus subscribers might be interested to know that there
are heaps of Gull-billed Terns in NZ at the moment. Prior to this year there
were about 45 records of GBT, but in the past few weeks we have had various
flocks of 5, 10 and 16, plus a few other scattered records. It appears that
at least 30 birds are involved in this invasion.
