Black-fronted Tern

Rebecca Bowater

This dear little Tern didn’t fly much while I was on the spit for 4 hours, so it was a joy to see how this turned out when I got home. It is my favourite Tern in NZ and I don’t see it very often, mainly in the winter months roosting near the boulder bank.

I agree – the Black-fronted Tern BIF shot is a Joy! Well done to capture such detail and interesting position.
