@heiglandreas There were kayakers on the sea when we were on Shetland. Can you imagine peddling up to this?

I very much enjoyed a couple of hours at Troup Head on Saturday, observing and photographing the colony there.

Great to see the Gannets back enmass at Bass Rock (as seen on Springwatch tonight). Interesting that birds with black coloured eyes (instead of blue) have survived Avian flu and have antibodies.

Scientists from several organisations investigated the timings of outbreaks at colonies across their North Atlantic range, with a detailed study of the impact of the virus on the , , home of the largest colony in the world.

Black irises – instead of the usual pale blue – were first seen in gannets breeding on the Bass in June last year, with colour varying from completely black to mottled

A belated good morning . Slept like the proverbial log and woke up absolutely ravenous after yesterday's gallivanting. I need to eat all the food.

Stormy day at Bass Rock, North Berwick.
Sited in the Firth of Forth, rising 106 metres above sea level, Bass Rock is an immense chunk of carboniferous rock is given its white glaze by the guano of thousands of sea birds, mostly 150,000 gannets and 90,000 puffins in the peak breeding season.

A sequence of a gannet diving off Breezy Point. These graceful birds hunt by plunging into the water and then swimming after the selected fish.

I still have four bird drawings left, modestly priced original art. These are mixed media, 6 x 6 inches on buff paper. A great gift for a birdwatcher.

Bird colonies are filling up fast around our coastlines - here's hoping they have a better breeding season this year and not too many victims of Avian flu 🙏 📷 Gannet at Troup Head, Banffshire.
