Re: White winged black tern at foxton beach
Spent a couple of hours late afternoon waiting for the wwbt to show, but no luck. At river mouth, a little down beach, were 120 odd wft coming and going but no wwbt appeared while we were there. It was seen here earlier in day. A very stunning bird and great photos Imogen.

That's tough Paul. It was there, about 200 meters north of the river mouth, 1.30pm til 2.00pm. It was with 208 White-fronted Terns in a tight group. Two youngsters went for a swim and the group of terns spread out at 1.45pm, with the ww-black tern moving into the water with a small group of others. It was still there, quite settled, when I left at 2.00pm. I will put up a photo shortly but it won't outshine Imogen.
