Social media link also making the copyright paragraph link out.... can't work out why

I can't work out why adding in two social media icons and linking each of them to a social media link is making the copyright paragraph below also link to social media - Facebook.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section>
      <ul>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">

        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
      </ul>

It looks like you didn't close the img tags

<img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo"

should be

<img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo">

Thanks so much, I've been driving myself crazy trying to work it out - clearly I am very new to all this!
