You've taken an excellent picture of this Gannet lad - very well done.

Brilliant close-up aerial of this Gannet flying close to the water surface. Excellent job nb!
 
Many thanks to all for the kind comments.

It was a wonderful and experience packed sailing trip although unfortunately shortened due to the increased, but necessary, Covid restrictions introduced in Scotland.
