Arctic Tern from Mordialloc, Melbourne

This is here for those who have not yet heard.

On the 2nd October an Arctic Tern had been sighted by myself down at the pier by Mordialloc with a Common Tern. This bird has been around until the time of writing, switching locations from the pier down to Rickett's Point. Check Birdline Vic for more information.

Here is a picture, hopefully it comes out:

Just an update. The Arctic was still there on Saturday, but was absent from most of the time I was there. If its not at Mordialloc then it is at Rickett's.

As a bonus Common and White-fronted terns have appeared too.

As another bonus, the stormy weather brought in many Short-tailed Shearwaters.
