Just wondering about how this was identified. Not one I know, other than
coastal. Just me having a quick look in books, suggests there does not
appear to be prior inland Australian records for this species, so I think it
warrants a bit more explaining of the identification, to elucidate a
statement that it was there.

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.
