26th November 2013 - Spot the Gannet!!

As the seagull shot was very popular I thought I would share another of the many hundreds of shots I took on my fabulous trip to Bass Rock. As the Captain was throwing the fish overboard and the seagulls were all rushing in suddenly the first gannet arrived and swooped in. I have never been so excited in my life!! Look large if you have time.

Uploaded for my extras album
