I love this one, the gannet looks so serene.

Yes I agree Sue - serene in flight, but ungainly on land, like any other web-footed bird! Thanks for the visit, best wishes Karen, Yorkshire, UK

Greetings Karen.

Gannets are the most gracefull of all seabirds and I derive so much pleasure from their appearance. I can be entertained for hours when they are feeding.

I liken them to the fighter attack aircraft and their diving technique defies belief.

Lovely photo.

Especially since they guide you to fish eh Jim ?

You said it Sam. They can be seen from a long way off. They are as good an indicator as any fish finder. Almost 100% correct.

Cheers.
