Breeding Little Tern – Khafra Marsh

Whilst birding Khafra Marsh over the summer months there were large numbers of Little Tern around suggesting they are breeding. Little Tern is not so easy to photograph due to the strong sunlight and their plumage making it difficult to get ‘catchlight’ in their eyes, with the photographs below my best efforts this summer. Little Tern is a common breeding species in the Eastern Province where they use wetland areas and flooded sabkha to breed.
