Wild Bird Wednesday 491 - Whiskered Terns (+)

Just a brief post this week as I continue to try to come out of covid-hibernation.  These are some shots of a large flock of Whiskered Terns (Chlidonias hybrida) that I took on my recent trip to Werribee.

On close examination I found a few other species of birds in the flock as well.  See if you can find them.  Consider it a kind of birding "Where's Wally"!

 



 


Hard as you may find it to believe, I may be able to visit some blogs this week!

Hope all is well, and that people have a good Christmas in these continually strange times.  SM

    I think I spot a couple of Silver Gulls, but beyond that I just sit and admire the visual spectacle! Merry Christmas to you and yours, Stewart. YAM xx

    Wow! Terrific photographs of the terns! I would have so enthralled I'd probably have forgotten to take any pictures.

    All is good here in the Sunshine State. Although today it is raining!

    Stewart, thank you so much for all you do to bring us closer together through birding. We hope your Christmas season is filled with Peace and Joy.
