Evening Sunshine at Glenelg

We hoped to see the famous pair of Sea Eagles off the jetty at Glenelg but no luck although we did get views of Gannets, Cormorant, Seals, Common Ringed Plovers and Goosanders.

Fulmars and a Gannet

 A few images taken from the boat of Fulmars  in the sky and against the sea and a favourite Gannet image with backgrouns sea and cliffs.

Gannets from the Boat


 On Wednesday, I took a trip on the Yorkshire Belle along to the cliffs at Bempton that we had viewed the day before from above. The Gannets wheeled around the ship and I enjoyed capturing their flight antics. I like the subdued lighting and bland skies though this may not be to everyone's taste.

Gannets and Fulmars at Bempton RSPB Reserve


 Beautiful day at Bempton Cliffs where the Gannets still have young. There are 22,000 gannets there so plenty of opportunity to catch them in flight along with Fulmars and Herring Gulls. Also good to see a large flock of Tree Sparrows.

Gannets

I needed an image to advertise a talk I am doing entitled Inspired by Nature and found this one from a trip over to Bass Rock. Obviously a composite but it is the feeling you get when the Gannets swoop in to get the fish thrown into the water from the boat.

Website updated

At last, I have got round to putting South Africa, Bass Rock and Ecuador Nature pictures onto my website http://www.pin-sharp.co.uk

Two Gannet Images


These are two images from a recent trip to Bass Rock in Scotland to observe the Gannet Colony. There are 50,000 breeding pairs on the rock and almost as many non-breeding pairs.
This is one of my favourites as it shows all the stages of gannets diving for fish. It was taken from the fishing boat taking us to the island after fish had been thrown overboard.



It was a windy day so the gannets coming into land hovered in the updraft allowing some good shots of their flying techniques.
I am in the process of revamping my website and these and more images from the trip will appear in due course!
