Folks,

Down at Penrhyn this morning where I met Ray Gobbe. Rising to high tide, 
north-east breeze, cool on the sandspit:

Bar-tailed Godwit    29
Red Knot                8
White-Fronted Tern    2 (Ray saw 3 yesterday)
Crested Tern            49
Red-Necked Stint    18
P Golden Plover         6
Sharpies                3
Other terns            Nil

Birds flagged or banded

Same orange flagged Red Knot from Sunday
NEW RN Stint Orange over Green - right tibia; banded left tarsus

With Ray's help we got very good views of the regular WFTern. It has a distinct 
notch out of its lower mandible about half way along. The other WFT was an 
immature.

Cheers, Graham Buchan
