It's busy on the small breeding dams. That's why there is also regular squabbling among the birds.
Nevertheless, the Black-headed gulls and Common terns choose to breed together because this also offers protection against predators.
I entertained myself for a while, watching the fuss they were making.

Head on encounter with a common tern. The longest lens I had with me was only 120mm, but the tern flew literally just over my head.

Pikkuinen kala lahjaksi – Little fish as a gift
Naaraan vaativalla huudolla on syynsä. Jos koiras ei saa kalastettua hyvin kalaa, sei ei ehkä kykene ruokkimaan poikasia, kun sen aika on. Niinpä naaraan on valittava hyvä kalastaja parikseen. Kalatiirat ovat useimmiten pariuskollisia ja voivat elää jopa 30-vuotiaiksi.

The female's demanding cries have a reason. If the male is not able to fish well, he may not be able to feed the chicks when the time comes. Therefore, the female must choose a good fisher as her mate. Common terns are usually loyal to their partners and can live up to 30 years.
