Two gannets stand close together on a rugged cliff edge, overlooking the sea. Their white plumage contrasts with the dark, textured rock beneath their feet. Facing each other, they engage in a courtship display — necks arched, beaks touching or gently fencing in a rhythmic motion. Their movements are slow and mirrored, a quiet ritual of bonding.
