  1. Another superb species intro! And from a location we have almost no photos from, you're scoring points, Barry :) Posted 8 years ago
  2. Hi fchristant,
    Well, if you are interested in some of the Seychelles specialities, I will load up a few more in the coming days. By the way, is there an explanation somewhere on how the point system works? Thanks, Barry

    1. Barry, small remark: I will not get any notification if you comment below me, you have to use the "reply" link on my comment. So it looks like I missed a few of your comments, sorry.

      Regarding point system, do you mean the karma points?

The white tern is a small seabird found across the tropical oceans of the world. It is sometimes known as the fairy tern although this name is potentially confusing as it is the common name of the fairy tern ''Sternula nereis''. Other names for the species include angel tern and white noddy.
