Soulmates.

My favourite shot from our trip to Bempton. Northern Gannets mate for life and you can see their devotion every time they return to the nest site. I read that this behaviour is known as "Billing" it is practised by the birds to reaffirm their bonds after meeting again at their nest site after a winter away. I love the birds facial markings and their devotion to each other.
