The grey noddy, a small and graceful seabird, is a visitor to New Zealand's northern waters. About the size of a blackbird, this delicate tern sports a pale blue-grey plumage that often appears white from a distance. Its elegant flight and unique feeding behaviour make it a captivating sight for birdwatchers.
