Blenheim
4 Common Tern: 2 adults and 2 young. Despite believing the chicks had been predated, two are now at the opposite end of the Queen Pool island amongst the vegetation. Getting off the nest platform and making that journey seems incredible, but 2 of the 3 (assuming the third isn't hidden somewhere) managed it! 14:00.
