Flying Gannet

[Carol]

Getting round to processing my photos from our recent holiday in Northumberland. This Gannet flew over while we were out on the boat visiting the Farne Islands.

Nice shot - even better full size on Flickr!

Excellent composition. What's the Farne Islands like now? The last time I was there a few years ago you couldn't move for school children and people with camera phones knocking you out of the way!

/Thank you Chris and Brian.

We didn't land on the islands, just a seal cruise around them. The boat wasn't full so there was plenty of room. Out of season for the majority of the sea birds.

Lovely pose, not seen a gannet around the Farnes on previous visits, of course the place for them is Bempton cliffs in the spring/summer

Nicely composed, good feather detail on the chest against the light

Thank you, Stan, Trev and Paul.

There were a few Gannets passing over on their way from or to Bempton (or so the skipper said over the radio), Stan.
