On This Day: May 24th 2010 - Crested Tern
This Crested Tern (Sterna bergii) seen on a visit to a beach on this day in 2010. Crested Terns eat small fish, and occasionally squid and prawns. They search for prey by flying about 10 metres above the water looking downwards. When they sight prey, they dive head-first into the water to catch it. Crested Terns breed in colonies on the coast, choosing sites with level ground above the high tide line.
