Sterna nilotica
Sterna nilotica, also known as the gull-billed tern, is a migratory bird species that visits Croatia during its annual migration.
With its striking black-capped head, pale body, and sturdy bill, the gull-billed tern is a remarkable sight along the Croatian coastlines. These birds are skilled foragers, feeding on fish, crustaceans, and insects in coastal wetlands and estuaries.
During the breeding season, they nest in colonies on sandy or muddy shores. Let's celebrate the arrival of these beautiful migrants and continue to preserve Croatia's natural beauty.
