The Little Tern: Close Up HD Footage (Sternula albifrons)

The Little Tern, scientifically known as Sternula albifrons, is a small seabird often found along coastlines. With a wingspan of around 50 cm, it’s easy to spot due to its white forehead, black cap, and slender build. These birds are excellent fishers, diving into the water to catch small fish and other marine life. They breed in colonies on sandy or shingle beaches, where they lay their eggs in shallow scrapes on the ground. Sadly, Little Terns are vulnerable due to habitat loss and disturbance from human activities. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these charming birds.
