Whiskered Terns in Carwoola pt 1

Today (13 November) I got a phone call saying that some terns were flying around the swamp in the Plain.  By the time I had got down there they'd been identified as Whiskered Terns and 8 were counted.  One of them came close several times allowing me to get some photos.  (As it was blowing a gale, and the birds fly quite quickly, the photographic process was "Point the camera in the general direction and press the button."  Seems to have worked OK).

 Sometimes there were up to 3 fairly close.  Here's a "poetry in motion" or Monetesque snap of a vol de deux.
