Retraction – it is a Sooty Tern in Alice Springs, NOT a Bridled Tern as I previously reported.

Apologies. I’ve had a chance to lower my blood pressure and look properly at a field guide.

There is now a Sooty Tern receiving plenty of TLC in good hands here in Alice Springs. He was bit tired and just needs some time to rest and (fingers crossed) we’ll stick him on a plane back to Queensland – seems unreasonable to make him fly back!
