Gannet, Morus bassanus

[KevinA]

On the Yorkshire coast at Bempton Cliffs, is one of the UK's largest Mainland Gannet colonies. It's always a great place to go and see Gannets as well as the other cliff nesting sea birds. Here are a few of the many shots I took yesterday.

Beautiful shots & love their eyes!

Thank you Darcy. It's funny you mentioned the eyes as there is an article about eye colour and the effects of Avian
Flu

Gorgeous images and you caught the lovely head color of these beautiful birds

Beautiful images of a beautiful bird. The in-flight shots are very good but #3 wins my heart.

Thank you for the article, looks like these have avoided Avian so far since their eyes are still blue!
