Greater Crested Tern, 43–48 cm, is the largest crested tern of the Indo-Pacific, breeding from South Africa to Japan and Australia. Yellow-green bill, prominent black crest, grey back. Colonial breeder on sand islands; plunge-dives for fish. Partially migratory; disperses across Indian and Pacific Oceans.
