I took the photo late in the afternoon around 6 pm, when the sun gave me the prefect light for my shot, bringing out the details contrasts on the bird's feathers.
I was available to capture them as one of them tried to cuddle with the other. They spent a couple of seconds together before they started flying again, never the less those couple of minutes were worth the wait, thanks to the prefect light conditions that brought my shot to life, giving me that perfect backlight that brought my subject apart from the background.
