  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:
