I want that fish (Sterna hirundo)

As the chicks grow older so the females take up sentry duty and spend long hours just sitting around not doing very much. Many males come back with fish but its not until I suspect her mate comes back that she wakes up and goes back screaming to the raft to see if she can get her share of the catch.
