gannet

A cropped image,

I like how they painted the lighthouse the same colour as the gannets

The Male Gannet returns to the nest at Bempton Cliffs.

Should have said all images taken from on the boat, which was crammed and bouncy :)

I wee trip to the Bass rock produced some fruit. Amazing trip to be so close to the gannets

sub adult bird (probably 4th calendar year)

This gannet came pretty close to the boat on the return journey home. I think I caught him just nice as he was looking at me

Gannets out in the breeze

Two birds in love or just a ritualised behaviour enabling them to overcome their natural aggression towards each other?

I saw this Gannet flying across, an awful long way down it seemed, so this was the best I could get of a Year Tick! Think that may be another Guillemot on the water. Doesn't life get complicated when you're visiting relatives LOL - I really will try and keep up, but I hope you'll forgive me if...
