Pair of gannets resting on a cliff preening each other's heads.
There is always a lot of love for gannets on #SuperSeabirdSunday and rightly so as they have a lot of love to give.

Norfolk based birder/naturalist. Also enjoys a bit of gardening | growing fruit/veg | listening to rock | a good pint of beer and the occasional twitch.

Heard the blackbirds alarm calling earlier and realised something was going on at the nest in the pyracantha. Was expecting a corvid to appear and to my surprise it was a kestrel.
