Here's a Four-year-old Gannet for #EFG. Note the classic piano key feathers showing this dude is not old enough to drink yet. Who knew my Saturday trip to @rspb.bsky.social Bempton Cliffs was going to be so useful for #BirdOfTheDay.
Gannet flying above the ocean. He has black strips on the back of his wings showing he isn't quite mature yet.

RSPB Bempton Cliffs today, still good numbers of Gannets on the cliffs with chicks. Some chicks may not leave the nest site until early November! Big numbers still on the sea of all age classes. Super views from cliff path and viewpoints providing superb flight and nest photos!

A #SuperSeabirdSunday that isn't a gull!

About a month ago @unsociable-lapwing.bsky.social and I had a trip to @rspb.bsky.social Bempton Cliffs to see what seabirds were still around.

There were still good numbers of Northern Gannets on the cliffs.

Adding to this #Gannets thread again, for #Seabirds (today’s main #BirdOfTheDay theme) and #SuperSeabirdSunday. This pair of Gannets, at Bempton Cliffs last Monday, were engaged in mutual preening. #Birds #UKWildlife #EastCoastKin #NaturePhotography 🌿
Photo of a pair of Northern Gannets (Morus bassanus) standing on a sandy ledge on a cliff, and engaged in mutual preening - the Gannet on the left is using his or her bill to preen the feathers on the top of the other Gannet's head, while that Gannet preens the feathers on the neck of the first one. The birds are mostly white, with yellow-brown colouring on the tops of their heads which runs part way down the backs and sides of their necks. Their long beaks are grey, with black lines around the edges and a further black line running along each side of the top part of the each beak, from the base almost to to the tip. Their eyes are blue-grey, with black pupils and thick blue rims. Their legs and webbed feet are black, with a pale green line running along the top of each toe. The background is a blue-grey colour - the sea, out of focus.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme chosen by @atlanticbirding.bsky.social is: #Seabirds; any bird found at sea or the coast. Alt. theme is #Airborne; any bird in flight. 🪶❤️

I’ve chosen the Northern Gannet for both themes.
