Gannet

Saw my first Gannets this weekend. Me and hubby watched a pair of Gannets fishing from Castle Point in Falmouth Cornwall. We managed to get some pics of them but not very good. I wasn't sure what they were but they certainly stood out from the Herring Gulls. Managed to identify them when I got home and checked my bird reference book:)

I've seen them in the past, but before i was really interested in Birds, would like to see the pictures Babs. :)

PS. Hope you had a good break. :)

This is one that hubby took and I would say it's the best of the bunch

Thanks rolf yes we did but it it was a lot to cram in a weekend. Arrived there at midnight Friday and set of back this morning at 8am.

I have yet to see a Gannet. I think they are very big.

Yes they are Chocky, we could see quite a long way out

Here is a much tighter crop

Wow. That's a cracker. Are you going to submit it to the Birds in flight gallery? Mine are getting lonely
