Black Tern at Thargomindah, SW Qld

Just a quick note to tell you that a Black Tern is currently being watched going to roost at the bore water cooling ponds by Allan Richardson, who found and photographed the bird this afternoon. The bird looks like one of the race niger (Eurasian Black Tern) which may not have been confirmed in Australia before? Images have been posted on Birdline and are doing the rounds on Facebook apparently. I’ll post updates tomorrow as I receive them from Al. Mick
