Guillemots in love
The male is bringing a fish to the female to impress her and get her into bed :biggrin:

No idea if he was any good because we left the Island before dark.
I quite like the flower frame because it adds a bit of love.

Am I being to romantic or is it just my fatherly feelings as I hope to become one again in four weeks.

Hello Edwin.

Nice capture and I like the effect with the oof foreground.

One small nit for me and that the oof pink flower right in the neck of the right bird. If its possible I think it would look better with out it, or darken it down abit. As I keep looking at it now I've noticed it.

Like the idea of this one and she doesn't look that impressed and to that extent would have liked a little more interaction. I have to agree with Guy about the flower over the neck.. Look forward to more..

I like the idea of this with the OOF flower but the angle doesn't work for me. It would have been better slightly higher so that you can see a bit more of the bird on the right. Good behavioural shot non the less.
