- Description:
- This is probably the most numerous and the most widely distributed of our fine native species of terns, or sea swallows. They nest on the ground, and in the locality in which these photographs were obtained they seemed particularly fond of choosing as nesting sites a patch of grass quite near to a boss or ridge of bare or lichen-covered rock. Terns have very short legs but particularly long beautiful wings. These are shown extended in the photographs just as the birds alighted near the edge of the nest.
