Mikepércs: Mating Terns Again

I hoped for other scenes with terns today. On my way to the hide I could see that there would be strong sunshine today.
In the best lights I couldn't catch anything, missing a few scenes.
This is how one of the terns sitting on the landing branch welcomes her mate:

A largish coot chick attracts my attention for a short time noticing a small insect on a reed ...:

... which it manages to catch after a few attempts.
Not long after this a mating takes place in front of me:

After mating they pose for a few seconds:
