CommentI watched this pair fly into their residence together in the cliff face then walk out together. In my mind they behaved like a long term pairing. Apart from demonstrating their relationship to me, I particularly liked the warm feeling provided by the late afternoon light and that the birds appeared to be very at ease with each other. There is also good eye contact with the two birds.
