Friday Feathered Friend
To everything (tern, tern, tern)
There is a season (tern, tern, tern)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
We can thank Pete Seeger for the song and Louise Thomas for the picture, and description of a black fronted tern.
"Continuing on with the rare terns that have been randomly turning (terning) up on the Kāpiti Coast, this is a juvenile black-fronted tern/tarapirohe (Chlidonias albostriatus) - a bit of a standout among the white-fronted terns because of the orange legs (and smaller body). As he gets older his beak will turn orange too. In breeding plumage the cap goes black all the way to the bill. They are apparently reasonably common in the South Island and have often been recorded wintering around Wellington, but this is my first time spotting one. Plimmerton on Sunday. Bird #61 in 2022."

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
