Tern for the better 6/30 Prospect Lake

A late report tonight from Keir Randall  (observing with Rob Bate) confirms the presence of terns in the vicinity of Prospect Lake

Two species terns were reported, LEAST and FORSTER'S , despite the absence of the earlier reported big tern , but nevertheless great to see terns visiting the park.
