The duel.

Interesting. Argumentive lot.
Must have been interesting watching. Is it also noisy?

Here is something a bit different. This is a shot of gannets diving for fish off the Bass Rock in the North Sea off the Firth of Forth, which goes up to Edinburgh. Its a big colony.

The shot shows an adult and juvenile.

Lovely photo. One of those the more you gaze, the more is revealed. So much to look at.
Very pleasing scene.

I certainly have never seen them behave like that before. Nice shot, Shalu.

And I thought they were pacifists. Never seen THAT before. Great capture!

Thank you, icopus!

Thank you, Richard! I don't recall them being vocal at the time. About two dozen of them were present.

This is a fabulous shot, Shalu. They're awkward looking on the ground, but so graceful in the air.

How a tern lost its fish. Cropped quite a bit.
