Gannet, Moray Firth

Today we went to a very remote Gannet colony on the Moray Firth. It involved a long drive, much of it on very narrow roads and tracks and then a long walk but well worth it. I've seen Gannets before but never so close. There were thousands of them (and lots of fluffy chicks) It was AWESOME!!

I'll post another picture on another day.
