Sterna sandvicensis

Sterna sandvicensis, commonly known as the Sandwich tern, is a migratory seabird species that graces the skies of Croatia during its annual migration.

With its distinctive black cap, yellow-tipped bill, and elegant flight, the Sandwich tern adds a touch of grace to Croatia's coastal areas. These birds are skilled divers, plunging into the sea to catch small fish and marine invertebrates.

They nest in colonies on sandy beaches or coastal islands during the breeding season. Let's welcome and appreciate the beauty of these wonderful migrants while striving to protect Croatia's natural habitats.
