Whiskered Tern at Kelly's this am - again

[Martin Butterfield <>]

On Tuesday I wrote down 6 Whiskered Terns at North Weston Ponds and regarded that as a conservative estimate.  There could have been up to 10 but it was, as Julie says,  hard to keep track of them.  I would be very confident that this didn't include the one Michael Maconochie reported from Kellys that morning, so at a minimum there are 7 in the area.

In the past Terns have also been recorded at the poo pits (particularly the set of three ponds): has anyone had a peer into them from either Dairy rd or the Monaro Highway?

Hi Julie

A Silver Gull joined the Kelly's trio at odd times. Did you see the North Weston Ponds birds between 10 am and 10.55? if so, the total is 6 individuals.

Hi All,

The Whiskered Terns were still at the North Weston Ponds yesterday too. We definitely saw four hunting in the late morning but there could easily have been more ... hard to keep track as the Silver Gulls joined in to make the counting task a little more tricky.

Photos ... that was a challenge!! ... on Flickr in case anyone is interested.

Cheers

Julie

3 actively hunting from about ten. They were still there at 10.55; wide-ranging but mostly near the Cygnus Hide.
