| Sun 20 | | Black-fronted Tern
Fort Scratchley, Newcastle |
| | Seen (and poorly photographed) at c.9.45 am for several minutes flying back and forth over the northern-eastern part of Fort Scratchley but initially assumed to be an Arctic-type Tern.
Seen again with Jon Spicer-Bell at c.11.20 am. It spent several minutes flying back and forth over an exposed and windy area of lawn near -32.92559,151.79225. Nearly landed several times and at one point photographed taking an earthworm.
Last seen flying along slowly out past the breakers.
Correct identification first suggested by Angus Daly after Jon Spicer-Bell posted a photo to the NSW Rare Bird Alert Facebook group. Identification later confirmed by various experts after more photos were posted to the Australian Twitchers Facebook group. | | Michael Kearns. 20/6 #260344 |
