Quickie
Mom had been out fishing while the old man was sitting on the nest. She landed on their favorite branch and preened herself for a while. There was a vocal exchange and dad flew down from the nest to get his reward for minding the nest.- Charlie600

It starts 17:08:52
Sitting outside having a coffee and was watching a starling on the fence singing and displaying, when along came its mate, so I pressed the shutter release (reposting the sequence as they had to be removed as I'd made a mistake uploading them, so apologies if you've seen them already)- Duke Leto

Tricky enough balancing on top of your mate, but even more difficult when you choose the apex of the roof on the local bird table- Duke Leto

Love is in the air
mansaged to grab this shot of Mr Robin offering a meal worm to Mrs Robin. They would choose a pretty grotty day to do it, but that's wildlife as they say- madmike

Cormorants but which ones?
Watched a cormorant flying with a piece of weed and landed on a jetty and started this dance, managed to capture a shot just between the posts as the boat moved on, never noticed the blue colouring around the beak before- Duke Leto
