Hello Steve
You have certainly captured a very intimate moment between the 2 birds, it contrasts well with the sea weed and rocks. Lovely image.
Best wishes

Hi Steve

Nice image, most males grab the scruff of the females neck but it looks as though he's giving her a 'quick peck on the beak' so to speak' or is he passing her food - like the setting!
