BF Tern Whatipu West Auckland

Post by Koukou »

About mid-day today, sitting at the edge of some thousand odd White-fronted Terns was an immature Black-fronted Tern. anyone familiar with Whatipu will know this flock, it roosts around the high tide mark around the corner from Whatipu on the way to Karekare. There was another 350ish WF Terns at Pararaha Creek but nothing else out of the ordinary there.

Got a good view and a few photos, will try to upload these when I get another spare moment.
