Many tern and some Sooty Gull were gathered on 4 boats. Took lots of piccies. Close analysis of these photos suggests following numbers 51 Greater Crested Tern, 21 Lesser Crested Tern, 20 Roseate Tern, 19 Sooty Gull, 7 Common Tern, 4 Sandwich Tern. A few of these Sooty Gull landed on the beach and a Sooty Gull and a Greater Crested Tern were photographed against the coral reef. Some more terns were on boats to north but no close-up piccies so ignoring these; does mean these are minimal counts. |

Many tern and some Sooty Gull were gathered on 4 boats. Took lots of piccies. Close analysis of these photos suggests following numbers 51 Greater Crested Tern, 21 Lesser Crested Tern, 20 Roseate Tern, 19 Sooty Gull, 7 Common Tern, 4 Sandwich Tern. A few of these Sooty Gull landed on the beach and a Sooty Gull and a Greater Crested Tern were photographed against the coral reef. Some more terns were on boats to north but no close-up piccies so ignoring these; does mean these are minimal counts. |
