Gull-billed Tern (Sterna nilotica)

This is a Gull-billed Tern and they are found around Australias coastline and some inland areas. I'd been photographing some other shore birds from a hide when a flock of these birds flew by. I had enough time to pan and follow this guy. I like this photo the best of the series I shot as its an interesting angle to view the bird in flight.
