Gannets....The young one's

More from yesterday trip to the Gannets. This is two chicks.. one very cute and fluffy and the other going through the gangly teenage stage, .. almost the ugly duckling.. their feet seem to big for them at this stage as well.. Apparently when they have all the adult feathers, they start to exercise their wings, and when they think they are ready jump of the cliff, and off they go to Australia, and return in a couple of years to start the breeding process again..
Lovely capture.
