Why it matters
The little tern (*Sternula albifrons*) is a master of aerial agility, characterized by its distinctively pointed wings and deeply forked tail that allow for precise hovering over water. These migratory seabirds are highly valued by naturalists and conservationists for their remarkable long-distance journeys and their reliance on fragile coastal nesting grounds.
