#birdwatching #iceland The Arctic tern, also known as the Sterna paradisaea, is a bird species that is found in coastal areas of the Northern Hemisphere, including Iceland. They are known for their aggressive defense reactions towards intruders, especially when their nests or offspring are threatened. • Arctic terns have a slender body structure with long, pointed wings. Their plumage is mostly gray on the back and white on the underside. They have a distinctive deeply forked tail and a red beak with a black tip. During the breeding season, they gather in large colonies on coastal cliffs or islands, where they build their nests on the ground or in shallow depressions. • When people or other animals approach their nest or breeding area, Arctic terns vigorously defend their territory. They can swoop down on intruders, execute dive attacks, and deliver pecks with their beaks. It is recommended to maintain a respectful distance from Arctic tern breeding colonies to avoid disturbing their breeding activities and to ensure personal safety.
