Description: The Swift terns, also known as Eilseeschwalbe or Sterna bergii, can be found year-round on the offshore islands of the South African coast. They often form large colonies, especially on Dyer Island, sometimes nesting alongside Hartlaub's Gulls. These graceful birds primarily feed on small fish, crustaceans, and mollusks, which they hunt for in coastal waters. Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of Swift terns and witness their grace and agility in the air and while fishing.
