G'day everyone, Latest Hudwit update is that it was showing reasonably well 
from Picnic Cove yesterday arvo, and well enough for several people to see the 
colour band on it's other leg, accompanying the red leg flag. Dimitris, Wayne 
Merritt and others are confident that the colour band is green - I was also 
able to get some more rubbish photos that show both the flag and the colour 
band (attached for those on the BirdsWA list) This was passed on to the 
American researchers, who report that this confirms that the bird was banded on 
Chiloe Island, Chile, in January 2010! The bird was still associating with the 
breeding plumage Blackwit. Also around Picnic Cove were 3 White-winged Black 
Terns, and 2 Gull-billed Terns were seen from Neil Hawkins Park Cheers,John
