Hi All,

Report on the Caloundra sandbanks (SEQld) for yesterday, 9/11/00.

Of interest were the following:
  • 2 Common Terns with ORANGE leg flags
  • Low numbers of Crested Tern, now off breeding
  • Wide variety of plumage stages amongst Little Terns
  • No marked Little Terns - sorry, down south!

Cheers,

Jill
