#northerngannets
Have been looking back at some of the pics I took at Bempton & Flamborough Head earlier this seabird season. Always a special experience watching #NorthernGannets diving into the sea at up to 60mph with their air sacs that cushion the impact.

#Northerngannets at Cape St. Mary's.
This "beaking" is called "mutual fencing."
#Easter -ish fact about their #eggs: they lay 1 egg & keep it warm with their webbed feet. This incubation technique is unique to gannets, boobies, pelicans & cormorants. #Gannets #BirdsOfNewfounfland #AvalonPeninsula

From Bempton & Flamborough Head earlier in this seabird season. #NorthernGannets splashing around in pursuit of a fish.

My corner of Scotland never disappoints. A perfect weekend coastal walk, topped off by watching Northern Gannets dive at 60mph into the Firth 🌊. #NorthernGannets #WildScotland

Day 6 #30DaysWild - a morning spent on the water at Flamborough Head & Bempton cliffs. You can clearly see #northerngannets with the completely black eye - a sign of #avianflu exposure & resistance to the disease 💪. Compared to the usual piercing striking blue eye.
