I had only just written about the observation of a Little Tern flagged in Taiwan last week when another flagged bird from overseas placed itself in our path! The Little Tern was also blue and white flags, but it was a white flag above a blue flag on the left tarsus and that indicates it has been flagged in Taiwan.

This cyclone has been named Cyclone Iggy and is a dominant circle on our satellite image of Western Australia. The rest of the birds had been marked locally, but we still took down the details as the next time they are observed may well be in Taiwan, China or Korea.

In the north of Australia we also have changing colours, but it is not the foliage that changes.
