| Sun 30 | | Caspian Tern
Lake Burley Griffin--East Basin |
|
| Two birds observed foraging over east basin. One seen to catch a fish and then was chased by silver gulls.
As far as I can ascertain this is the first sighting of the species in 2025, yet bizarrely, it is not considered a 'rare bird'. |
