G'day everyone,

Can anyone point to some sites in and around Sydney that are great places for seeing Terns? I've spent some time at Longy and have seen plenty of Crested Terns there, with the odd Little, Caspian and White-fronted Terns seen from time to time, but would also like to know if there are other places in and around Sydney that are more reliable places to see these and other Tern species. I have planned a trip up to Newcastle, and also to Nowra in the next couple of weeks to look for other Terns too, so any help in finding some Terns in those areas, or places along the way would also be very much appreciated.

Also, I'm interesting in knowing if there are any places around Sydney where Silver Gulls can be reliably seen en masse, or if there are any known breeding colonies in Sydney. I'm hoping to find a place that might have hundreds of birds if that is possible. I remember seeing a couple breed at Homebush a few years ago, but not since. HANZAB mentions that they breed around Mascot. Would this still be correct?

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,
Mark
