Oh, dear. He seems a little self-centered. Do you think they are staying together for the sake of the children?

Thanks Lois! There is no divorce law for wildlife. Birds usually mate for life, until one of the two dies.

Another great post, Hien! The old fish and the new look alike. It took me a while to be sure that they are different pieces 😉
I like the last photo a lot. There must be a good caption that goes well with this photo, but I couldn’t come up with any 😉
Have a great day.

Don’t we all (like fresh seafood)! He had a hoard of food (fish, I guess) on the ground. Some seagulls were very interested in that.
