Royal Tern
Bathing
Shaking and fluffing its feathers after its bath
Now it’s time to preen those all-important feathers.
Then it’s off to get food for its chick.
Greenback minnows were plentiful.
Each pair has only a single chick each season so invests a lot into taking care of it. They will continue to feed their youngster until next February, much longer than other tern species.
