Saw another Black-fronted Tern flying over the point this morning at about 9.30am. Other notable sightings during 30 minutes there included 2 White-capped Albatross and 3 Australasian Gannets passing offshore, a Reef Heron foraging on the rocks nearby, and 6 Little Black Shags flying over the point.
