Description: The graceful swift tern (Sterna bergii) is a fascinating seabird species that can be found year-round along the coasts of South Africa and its offshore islands. Often seen nesting alongside Hartlaub's gulls on Dyer Island, these majestic birds primarily feed on small fish, crustaceans, and mollusks that they hunt in coastal waters. Watch as the swift tern gracefully hovers above the sea surface, scanning for its next meal.
