This is a very significant record, probably the first for the ACT.
Fascinating that it is still in breeding plumage, considering that it
breeds in Siberia.
Many thanks Milburn.

An adult Eastern Common Tern (Sterna hirundo longipennis), still in
breeding plumage, was with the flock of Whiskered Terns (approximately
15) at the largest pond at Fyshwick Sewage Treatment Plant this
evening until sunset. The bird was visible from the Old Dairy Flat
Road at the heavy green gate looking towards the green hut.
