Perhaps my expectations were too high or perhaps we misjudged the tide in some way, but we saw a far bigger variety of waders at Port Douglas at the southern end of Four Mile Beach. It didn't even look great habitat for waders at Cairns, nothing to make me think that we were just unlucky.
However, we did see several of these impressive Australian terns also known as Australian gull-billed tern Gelochelidon macrotarsa. Until recently this was considered a subspecies gull-billed tern.
