The time of year is also unusual. The 11 records in the COG database (NSW and ACT) are all in August, September and October. The 7 ACT records are all in September and October.

Hi Kym,

 

Your birds are Caspian Terns, a rather rare visitor to the Canberra area. A good record if you wouldn’t mind putting it in as a COG incidental record sheet.

 

Cheers,

Mark

Two of these Terns flew in scattered all the other birds ( hope the gentleman looking for the sand pipers saw them )
