Description
Over and over again, these two Black-Headed Gulls sang to each other during their mating ritual, first the one on the left and then the one on the right. I watched them for about 20 minutes and they were still courting each other when I left them.
Thanks very much for your views and comments.

An excellent capture of this pair; they are so beautiful!
Great excitement and a super shot Maria.
You caught the right moment Maria. Beautiful capture.
Excellent capture of birds love! Congratulations!
A beautifully captured expressive moment - outstanding shot...
excellent...good timing
OH they are gorgeous. A very lovely shot :)
love in the air lol.
awww, what a sweet display of love. nice shot.
This is fantastic! A capture for the ages. You caught the couple as if it were a Nelson Eddy and Jeanette McDonald operetta, Maria. And they lived happily ever after. Excellent composition of clarity, contrast, and loving devotion.
they are such beautiful gulls and your capture takes in the magic of nature
How nice! A lovely, long conversation before pairing off. That's what hooked me on Bill ... all that conversation. :)
How wonderful! I love both expressions/poses in this superb photo.
We have many of these birds here and I'm ashamed to say I didn't know they did this.
Amazing capture Maria. God bless.
Nice!
Superbe danse théâtrale...
What a lovely and elegance duo, with their adorable attitude Maria. You capture says it all!!!
I do not know how you're doing it to get always the right moment. This is another example An outstanding shot, so interesting to observe the courtship behavior of birds.
Excellent Capture
What a cool photo....
Love that "Love" capture
you get this subtle 'glow' in your birds, an uncanny sense that there's light inside them, and not just 'on' them...these two have that glow. And the contrasts of their blacks and whites and grays are almost like they're painted on with the subtlest brush...and you gave us just enough detail in the sand and water to give them a 'ground', while the rest is quiet 'space'---ie, in the sands and water. Beautifully done, Maria; and their mating ritual is caught at a classic moment of giving and receiving. Timeless. Another beautiful bird capture from you, which is redundant to say and wholly truthful...
