More Terns

Seems the wind has caused a few feeding
changes around Port Philip Bay. 

The last two days there has been Gannets
feeding  just off the Limeburners Point boatramp near Geelong, and
what i'm 90% sure was a Black Faced Cormorant  flying past the same
area.

Following on from Rob's possible sheltering or windblown
Arctic Tern, 
there were a few terns sheltering by the old rowing shed beside Corio 
Bay, opposite Geelong Grammar School this morning.  1 Caspian and
3 or 
4 Fairy or Littles  - we get all these here occasionally.  It's
probably my 4th or 5th Caspian record here in 10 years, and I've seen 
Fairies here a couple of times.  Fairy & Little Terns are more
commonly 
observed around the Pt Lillias / Pt Wilson area.  perhaps they found
the shoreline near GGS a little less buffeted by wind this morning.

I hope they are still there tonight or tomorrow as I was running so 
late I didn't have time to go back for a pair of bins to check what 
species I was looking at.
