Hey guys, having trouble identifying these terns that were taken on the weekend at Noosa QLD.
The look like White-Winged Black Terns coming into breeding plumage but I'm not sure.
The second is the same group of Terns but I tried to make them clearer.
Appreciate any help.
Cheers

They're the same as the ones that I decided were White-Winged Black Terns coming into breeding plumage that I saw yesterday just outside of Darwin. A new tick for me so I was happy. There was a number of whiskered terns mixed in with what I saw and I think a few in your photo might be too. Will leave that to the experts though.
At last someone replied!!
Thanks robm, a new tick for me also.
I know the photos were bad but I thought that some may have confirmed what I thought.
Thanks again.
I'll 2nd White-winged Black Terns for the majority of them, with a few Common Terns. I don't think any Whiskered Terns present.
