The Little Tern (Sternula albifrons) is a small, graceful seabird commonly found in coastal and estuarine habitats. It is easily recognized by its slender wings, black cap, and bright yellow bill tipped with black. An agile flier, it hunts small fish and crustaceans by skillfully diving into the water. During the breeding season, it nests in colonies on sandy beaches, gravelly areas, or salt flats, laying its well-camouflaged eggs in shallow scrapes.

This species is widely distributed and migratory, traveling between breeding and non-breeding grounds across its range. Despite its adaptability, the Little Tern is vulnerable to habitat disturbance, making conservation of nesting and foraging areas essential for its survival.
