"Fortune favours the brave".

One of the Exeter Daves and I made the decision to get up early and drive to South Huish Marsh in the hope of seeing a rare visitor to the UK. On the drive down, we heard that the Gull-billed Tern had flown off and our hearts sank. However, as we drove into the car park, we were frantically gestured at - it had flown back seconds before our arrival! Good to see @BradyLavis too

Finally got around to ID'ing some of the shorebirds I saw in Cairns.

This one is a Gull-billed Tern. (Gelochelidon nilotica)
