"Ah" the women exclaimed next to me "they really love each other".
Seems so, went on for quite a bit.
Another day at Bempton, quite a hot one.

Hello Tim

Thats a lovely looking image you have there. Everything looks to be spot on to me but wouldnt expect anything else from you :toast:
Liked the comparison on Owls but they are ok unlike your P's.

They certainly pop.... and super quality as ever... like how it shows how precarious those cliffs are....

Very nice Tim :wavey:

Precarious :eek: :eek: Phil, this ledge is positively palacial by Bempton standards; obviously Tim has been doing his paparazzi thing on the Posh 'n Becks of Gannyshire; short of taking over the visitor centre this pair couldn't have a bigger pad :biggrin:

Hi Tim, What a stunning image you have produced here superb in all departments.

I was amazed at how precarious their existence can be. When I was there, I saw a male knock his lady friend clean off the side of the cliff while trying to climb on board. As Andy says this guy has plenty of space in comparison. He's got enough room for a run-up.
It's a really nice shot and expertly exposed. Nice interaction.

Absolutely gorgeous! Nice to get a clean and contrasting background too. I think I prefer it with a little crop from the bottom to leave just two layers of rock, but it is great with three too.

Perfect timing. Very nice shot and well exposed. :smile:

The rock makes the image for me - well captured and composed.
