White-winged Black-tern

[Kim Farley via Canberrabirds <>]

Thank you Steve. Your view appreciated. This bird, after first being a bit blurrily photographed and reported to eBird by Ben Milbourne some days ago, has been the subject of a fair bit of discussion since then. Shorty's new photos have helped a lot. Shorty's record is also on eBird. Hopefully more will follow.

Ear phones head pattern certainly looks good for WWBT as does upperwing pattern. Likely an immature bird

There was a report a few days ago of a possible one being seen at the treatment plant. Late today I received a message of a Tern seen there and went for a look. I am no expert on these but I think my poor photo confirms it?
