***About Common Tern

***: The Common Tern, scientifically known as Sterna hirundo, is a seabird known for its graceful flight and agility over coastal waters and estuaries. Recognizable by its sharp red bill and black cap, this bird is widespread, breeding in temperate and subarctic regions of Europe, Asia, and North America. Common Terns are remarkable for their fishing skill—plunging into the water to catch fish with precision. They are highly migratory, often traveling thousands of miles between breeding and wintering grounds. Conservation efforts are crucial for maintaining healthy populations, especially as habitat loss and pollution pose ongoing threats.
