"Despite their name, Grey Noddies don’t nod their heads as much as their black noddy relatives-the “noddy” name refers to the family, not a behaviour."
Field Guide
Gray Noddy
4 sections
The Grey Noddy (Anous albivitta), also known as the Grey Ternlet, is a small, graceful seabird found in subtropical and tropical Pacific waters. This species is recognised for its pale blue-grey upperparts and off-white underparts, and for its unique feeding behaviour-hovering and fluttering just above the water’s surface.
