Fulmars in Love

I captured this one last week on a ruined castle in my home town. These Fulmars return every year to nest on the castle. They are quite high up, so I climbed up another part of the castle, a wee bit too far from them for my liking, but I wanted a better POV

A very cool composition... Almost seems like you were the nuptials photographer and found this location. You handled the high sun as well as it could be done. TFS

Lovely moment captured nicely, William. Good work climbing higher to get this view. You handled the overhead light well. I've observed in general these are quite affectionate birds.

That's really nice Will, lovely exposure and I like the composition.

How romantic. I wish the oof rocks were not there, but I love the face-to-face poses, and I especially like the framing created by the two "pillars". Nicely seen opportunity!

Nicely done Will, a lovely moment. Pity about the BG rocks but not a deal breaker
