The Gull-billed Tern, scientifically known as Sterna nilotica or Gelochelidon nilotica, is a captivating bird species found in various locations around the world. From Welder flats in Texas to the freshwater lakes of Gambia, these terns can be seen gracefully soaring through the skies and engaging in their daily activities. In non-breeding plumage, these adult Gull-billed Terns showcase their stunning flight skills while drinking from a freshwater lake in Gambia or bathing at Welder Wildlife Refuge in Sinton. Their sleek appearance and elegant movements make them a sight to behold. During breeding season, these terns transform into breathtaking creatures with their striking breeding plumage. Standing on mudflats at waterfront areas like Cairns or engaging in courtship rituals at Welder flats in Texas, they display their beauty and gracefulness for all to see. Whether it's flying over mudflats or water bodies, such as those found in Cairns or Rio Grande Valley's Willacy County, these birds demonstrate exceptional aerial prowess. They effortlessly glide through the air with precision and agility that leaves observers mesmerized by their skillful maneuvers. These incredible birds are not limited to one region alone; they can also be spotted across different continents. In Queensland, Australia, both during breeding and non-breeding seasons, they continue to captivate viewers with their flights over mud and water bodies. Even Eastern Spain becomes home to these magnificent creatures during April when an adult Gull-billed Tern showcases its vibrant breeding plumage while soaring through the skies. The Coto Donana region of Spain offers opportunities for witnessing single adult birds engaged in fishing or simply enjoying flight without any specific purpose.
