Occurrence remarks The most common tern species in New Zealand BUT not Australia. This lone bird had been reported on the birders network and been occasionally seen in this location amongst Gull Billed and Crested Terns - just look for the Birders and their binoculars. Good comparison for size possible through he image with 2 x Gull Billed Terns behind it. Long thin black bill and a forked tail evidenced in flight. Has been seen along the se coast of Australia but this seems near its most northerly reported range. non breeding plumage
