Striking identical poses, a white-fronted tern and chick are pictured at Sulphur Point near Tauranga, while an adult is captured in the act of preening (left). This species is the most common tern in New Zealand, although its future is by no means secure: predators and human disturbance have taken their toll of the bird. In winter many migrate to Australia or to northern New Zealand.
