The eggs, two to three in number, are generally deposited in a slight hollow scooped in the shingle. They show much variation in colour, from yellowish-white to warm buff, blotched with shades of grey and brown. They are on an average longer in shape than those of the Arctic Tern. Geographical distribution. Abroad, the Roseate Tern nests sparingly in Central Europe, and more plentifully in the South, in Asia as far as the Tropics, in Africa, especially in the Northern Section, and in America to... the latitude of the West Indies. On migration it is widely distributed over the Tropical and Southern Seas. DESCRIPTIVE CHARACTERS. PLUMAGE. Adult male nuptial.
