Precioso
Thanks for the comments Kat & Jeannette.
Wow, lovely shots and birds :)
Wonderful series!
Fabulous shots!!!
Beautiful bird!
Not quite sure, it might even be an offering for courtship. We watched some of them snatching these from each other when they arrived so they must be highly prized. You can get close but don't try to get any closer than the distance between two nests or you might get a nasty peck!
Wow beautiful... just have seen gannets from a distance their coloring is so delicate. Is that lunch or nesting material?
Try to upload it again Malcom.
There seems to be a bug somewhere, no thumbnail and one picture disappeared, I tried deleting and reloading but it will not accept it.
Cool. We saw a colony at Farewell spit, but couldn't get anywhere near that close to them. Great photos!
