affinis Gull-billed Terns arrival times in Aust

["Murray Lord" <>]

The paper by Danny Rogers and others in Emu 105(2) entitled ‘Gull-billed Terns 
in north-western Australia: subspecies identification, moults and behavioural 
notes’, indicates they have trapped affinis terns in the Broome area in every 
month of the year.

I noticed in the latest issue of the journal Forktail a comment attributed to 
Danny Rogers that these birds are probably distinct at the species level, but 
genetic work has not yet been done.
