Tern! Tern! Tern! (to misquote Pete Seeger)

[Frank O'Connor <>]

Broome is the best place I have had.  In the wet season you can get 
Crested, Lesser Crested, Caspian, Gull-billed (both macrotarsa and 
the migratory affinis), Little, Whiskered, White-winged, Common and 
Roseate.  The port is the best chance to get most of them.  You are 
most likely to miss Whiskered and White-winged which you would get at 
the sewage ponds, although both are possible in the harbour.  So 9 
species are certainly possible.  In storms, Common Noddy has been 
recorded and occasionally Bridled and Sooty.  Fairy Tern was present 
in an unusual year back in the middle of 1990.
