Hi Everyone,

The tern flocks are building up on the Caloundra sandbanks, and this is the
final tally from last week's surveys (16th Jan, 03), done on a low and
rising tide.

Note that "Terns unidentified" will add to the numbers of Little Terns,
White-winged Black Terns and Common Terns, probably much in proportion with
the actual numbers listed for those species.


Caspian Tern    4
Common Tern    12995
Crested Tern    72
Gull-billed Tern    1
Little Tern    2536
White-winged Tern    1956
Terns unidentified    8683

Silver Gull    504
Eastern Curlew    25
Whimbrel    32
Bar-tailed Godwit    187
Great Knot    1
Curlew Sandpiper    56
Terek Sandpiper    1
Red-necked Stint    11
Grey-tailed Tattler    6
Greater Sand Plover    20
Lesser Sand Plover    1
Red-capped Plover    20

Australian Pelican    27
Little Pied Cormorant    1
