info

The white-fronted Tern is another species endemic to New Zealand. it measures up to 40 centimetres and weighs up to 160 centimetres. Unfortunately, when I was trying to approach them early in the morning, they preferred to keep their distance from me and I couldn’t take photos that would present them in zoom, as they were too far away. On the beach, there were also oystercatchers and gulls feeding on the sand. The beach where I was taking the photos was wide and beautiful. The charm of this spot and the light of sun at dawn made up for the fact that I had to get up at night.
