Caspian Tern today.




Category: My Garden Birds | Posted: Wed Jun 17, 2009 7:03 pm

I see these terns each time I go down to the lagoon. I managed one shot last year of one in flight (not very good I might add). Today I caught a couple on the ground which gave me another chance of a photo. I took a couple before they were off again. Perhaps I might do better next time.

When my eldest son was in New Zealand he was told that the Caspian is the worlds largest tern and that it has a call that resembles the croak of a heron. The Maori name for them was 'Taranui.'
