First Black-naped Tern of the season. It was flying around over the sea at the coast where they breed every year. The terns that come to Ishigaki Island arrive in this order: Little Tern, Great Crested Tern, Black-naped Tern, and Roseate Tern. All except the Great Crested Tern, which breeds on the Senkaku Islands, breed along the coast of Ishigaki Island.
