The whiskered tern in New Zealand – first records

Notornis, 26 (2), 185-195

B.D. Heather; E.B. Jones (1979)

Article Type: Paper

The circumstances are given of the first recorded whiskered terns (Chlidonias hybridus) in New Zealand, at Lake Horowhenua, Levin in 1977 and 1978. Reasons are given why the birds were probably from Australia (C. h. javanicus). The field characters of the non-breeding adult plumage of the whiskered tern, black tern (C. niger), white-winged black tern (C. leucopterus) and black-fronted tern (C. albostriatus) are compared. The nomenclature of Mees (1977) is used, at species level.
