Common tern - Ποταμογλάρονο (Sterna hirundo)
One can easily observe terns in the city of Thessaloniki, but it is very difficult to photograph them, beacuse they are not approachable. If you have the patient to wait and see them fishing, it is a moment that you will never forget. They dive from the sky with an enormous speed and get on the air again usually with a fish in their mouth.

The common tern in the first photo is standing in the air and measuring the distance that seperates it from the target, which is a fish of course. The little tern in the second photo has just got a fish and is returning to its hatchling in order to feed it.
Τα γλαρόνια είναι πουλιά που κάποιος εύκολα μπορεί να συναντήσει στη Θεσσαλονίκη (μία βόλτα στην Κρήνη και το να μπορέσουμε να τα διακρίνουμε από τους γλάρους αρκεί). Δυστυχώς όμως δεν είναι εύκολα προσεγγίσιμα, συνεπώς οι φωτογραφίες αυτές δεν είναι από την πόλη μας. Το ποταμογλάρονο (Sterna hirundo) είναι φωτογραφιμένο στη λιμνοθάλασσα Καλοχωρίου, ενώ το νανογλάρονο (Sterna albifrons) κοντά στις εκβολές του Στρυμόνα.
