The day after Cyclone Larry struck north Queensland a White Tern was
found at Malanda on the Atherton Tablelands. He was in poor condition
and exhausted. However, after 2 weeks in the care of Far North
Queensland Wildlife Rescue he is well fed and soon to be released.
Although a tern of the open ocean, White Terns are occasionally
carried to Far North Queensland with cyclones. Malanda is nearly 50km
from the coast as the crow (or tern) flies. Certainly a beautiful and
delicate tern. I have placed some photos on a website at:
