Thanks Tom. Not sure if it is common knowledge among birders, but in case it
isn't - White-winged Blacks commonly roost close together on overhead wires
like a cluster of woodswallows. I have seen it many times in the past at the
Ewan Maddock Dam at Landsborough in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast,
Qld. I don't know if Whiskered Terns also do this.
