Re: 'Chlidonias' Terns hawking over fields in Samford, SEQ

Hi Jill, Paul, Bob and all who are interested,

The birds were in the same area this afternoon and their number has risen
to 30-40, from your communications I am pretty sure that they are White-winged.
Unfortunately it is not possible to enter the CSIRO fields (we were warned
off last month when we saw the Brown Songlarks which incidentally, are still
there at the moment!) but you can park on the roadside..... the birds were
on the northern fields and some were perched on fences.
