Vrae wat reisigers vra

’n Waarneming beteken dat ’n gasheer die Whiskered Tern op die eiendom of naby gesien het. Dit waarborg nooit dat jy dit sal sien nie.

Which parks and reserves are best for the Whiskered Tern in South Africa?

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Whiskered Tern at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, iSimangaliso Wetland Park, De Mond Nature Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park and Keurbooms River Nature Reserve. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

When is the best time to see the Whiskered Tern?

Sightings of the Whiskered Tern peak from Oct to Feb, based on 675 iNaturalist records. You may still see it outside those months, sightings are just less frequent.

What is the Whiskered Tern?

The whiskered tern (Chlidonias hybrida) is a tern in the family Laridae. The genus name is from Ancient Greek khelidonios, "swallow-like", from khelidon, "swallow". The specific hybridus is Latin for hybrid; Pallas thought it might be a hybrid of white-winged black tern and common tern, writing " Sterna fissipes et Hirundine natam ”.
