The relict gull has strict habitat requirements, with peak breeding occurring in May and June. According to local authorities, the sandy, well-drained soil on the lake's islets provides ideal conditions for egg-laying and chick-rearing. The birds are highly social and nest closely together to improve collective security against predators, creating a striking natural scene.
