BIRD OF THE DAY
The Sandwich Tern (Thalasseus / Sterna sandvicensis) occurs in Europe, Asia, North, Central and South America and the Caribbean. Most of the population are migratory birds.
Sandwich terns are living coastal and on small islands with shallow water and a good supply of food.
The Sandwich tern is an accurate diver. It mostly takes small fish in flight on the coast or on the high seas. It also feeds on molluscs, worms and insects.
