\"Photo<\/a>
Tara\/White-fronted Tern tempting a potential mate with a fish. Fine multitasking skills – flying, presenting fish and applying whitewash!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Following on from last weeks post on the Te Puru Terns<\/a>, this week we have some images of the mating sequence. I had hoped to document courtship feeding culminating in mating but had to be content with documenting each of these behaviours separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Photo<\/a>
Begging female tern testing her potential partners food supply skills for anticipated chicks.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Adding the hope for an isolated pair with a relatively undistracting background while photographing a chaotic collection of birds further complicates the situation. The above images show part of the courtship feeding ritual. I have other images of the transfer of the fish but only in a more crowded situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This next series of images is of another pair completing the mating sequence, considerately on the edge of the chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
