Hi to all you North Queenslanders!
A visitor photographed a juvenile (3-4 weeks old) Little Tern on the
Cairns Esplanage on Monday, Jan 19, 2009.
Does anyone in the Cairns area have any knowledge of
- the whereabouts of the breeding colony,
- the population size of the breeding
colony
- whether it was being monitored or even
observed opportunistically through the breeding season, or
- the degree of breeding success?
Any information at all would be warmly
welcomed. I have known of Little Tern breeding in Cairns in the past,
but not the details.
While I am at it, Bill (Moorhead), what happened at the Barubbra
(Bundaberg) colony? Did you get fledglings? Last word from you, you had
runners, if I remember correctly.
Cheers,
Jill
