The Bass Rock hosts the World's largest colony of Northern Gannets. On this visit, I was told that an estimated 100 000 breeding pairs were in residence. Sadly and tragically, Avian Flu has devastated the bird population this year. The Sea Life Centre and other professionals have only been able to look on helplessly. These images were shot with a Canon 5d and 100-400 lens.
Unlikely that I shall visit again, even if visits are again permitted, as at age 80 this year, I lack the agility required to skip onshore from an occasionally difficult landing.
