Sean Jacques alerted me to a Little tern at Argyle Beach, Bluff, near war memorial feeding with large flock of WFT.
Sean saw this species last year in same locale in November.

I managed to chance a sighting for a couple of minutes this afternoon until a Kelp Gull and the incoming tide disturbed the flock. I waited for an hour but the Little Tern failed to return with the White-fronted Terns.

Now two birds associating with the White fronted tern flock by the war memorial.
