Story: Gulls, terns and skuas
Grey ternlets breed on the Kermadec Islands, where they are numerous. Sometimes they also breed on islands closer to the North Island. Their flight is graceful and floating, and they perform intricate courtship displays, with one bird hovering and weaving across the other’s flight path.
