That is a fabulous shot. I’ve never been to the Cape Kidnappers gannet colony. I really should try to visit sometime.

How did you take those first two? Telephoto lens, I assume? Just majestic.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful. They are nesting on a series of cliffs, and to watch them soaring over wild seas is quite spectacular.

It looks so effortless. They must have a lot of up drafts to cruise on.

Thank you so much Sarah. The gannet colony is my new favourite place. I’ve been out there this morning, trying to get some quality time with the birds before all the tourist buses arrive.
