Jane Gatward
So very beautiful Werner These graceful, loving creatures make a wonderful picture. So well composed and the colours so subtle. L/F
Werner Padarin replied:
Thank you Jane - they're just the true colours - great to watch the goings on in the colony (many 100s of birds, so also lots of photos!) and they love their chicks while the chick is on the nest, if it falls down the nearby cliff, it's no longer of any concern ...
Dawn Currie
Stellar interaction between these handsome birds
Werner Padarin replied:
Thank you Dawn - they mate for life and perform bonding rituals including this sort of grooming.
