20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Northern Gannets Canoodle
Each year Northern Gannets gather by the thousands at Bempton Cliffs for breeding and raising their young. They are so crowded it can be hard to isolate a pair and capture their individuality, but I was able to photograph this pair engaging in some pre-mating canoodling.
