Observations on Sterna vittata and S. virgata breeding and foraging at Marion Island are reported. The breeding season of S. vittata corresponds with the period of least strong wind. The breeding periodicity of S. virgata is apparently less affected by seasonal wind variation, since the bird obtains much of its prey on land.
