Just near my local beach in Bamaga (the tip of the Cape York Penisula) I spotted this tern? ANyone have any idea of the species?

Hi Azza,
I think this might also be a Gull-billed Tern, but a juvenile.
Almost all of the other terns have much narrower beaks.

It's a juvenile (Great) Crested Tern. Gull-billed Terns have a different shaped black bill.
