Hi Adrian, Sav & everyone else
No affinis birds in the photos that I could discern either.
It would be worth checking for them though in future amongst these Aust birds,
as now is about the time of year that we start to get a few affinis here in
Cairns, amongst the Aust birds.
I will be keeping a close eye on the terns at Cairns Esplanade in the next
month or so, checking for any arriving affinis - I will, of course, put a post
on B-aus when I find some up here.
I know that Jill, for one, is pretty keen to catch up with this bird... They
have in the past stayed at least for a few weeks in the same locations...
Cheers for now
