White-fronted, not white-naped, according to our CSIRO guide, but Sterna striata, yep. I'd say that's right, but might leave it for Leo to confirm and add the species, as my expertise on terns is minimal.

Woops! White-naped was a complete slip of the brain. I did indeed mean White-fronted. Black-naped are one of my favourites but are quite different - see my blog at http://hdpphd.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/capricornias-terns.html

Checked the blog - that's a lot of tern photos (and I managed to find out what teneral means by moving on to one of your damselfly posts).
