Bempton Gannet (Morus bassanus)

Well, here it's a classic, a Gannet from Bempton Cliffs. I had an utterly enjoyable day there with Gavia, Mike (Sandpiper) and Cora (Adalia)!!! :bounce:

I suppose I should have done a better job (judging by the impressive pictures the people take there, :eek!:)... I have no excuses... Still, it was my first time taking pictures of Gannets and I'm relatively pleased with this one, so into my gallery it goes as it's a newbie and I want to share it with everybody!!! o:)

A superb flight capture of a gannet. I know the place, it takes some getting used to to capture these birds as they dive or fly for a few seconds at eye level.You did extremely well , I think , to get an image that shows the great span of their wings.
 
Beautiful flight capture, Marian. Now to look at your other uploads, mi amiga!

Super flight shot, Marian. Exposure spot-on and great detail too. These are stunning birds both in flight and on the ground and you've captured it very well here. :t: :clap: :clap:
