Enjoyed watching the Australian tern hunting over the inner estuary for about 30 minutes this evening. It caught a few crabs, before crossing over the spit and disappearing off south along the beach.

Two Australian terns were hawking over the lagoon while I watched the sunrise on a chilly morning.
