Photographed in a place called Bushy Beach Reserve in Otago, New Zealand. The viewing gallery is on a 100-ft high cliff that overlooks the beach. Hence the poor quality picture.

White-fronted Tern (In flight)

While we spent an entire afternoon waiting for the yellow-eyed penguins, there was a constant procession of White-fronted terns that were presumably returning to their nests with fish in their beaks.
