Black-browed albatrosses build pedestal-shaped nests from mud, grass, and feathers on remote cliff edges, returning to the same site year after year. Both parents share incubation duties for their single egg, taking long shifts while the other forages far out at sea. I photographed this nesting colony on Saunders Island in the Falkland Islands. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 20mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/640th of a second.

The background and it’s subject pair nicely.
Thanks Donna. This was an incredible location. Great views in every direction.
I bet it was.
