Gannets, Gulls and Fulmars Galore :IPhotos from Diving Gannets Trip with Yorkshire Coast Nature


                                                These birds can dive up to 60 mph




                                                   What a beauty (Both bird and fish)




                                                It's a battle to keep what you have caught



                                                            Catch me if you can


                                             Gannet being mugged by another




                 As they came over the boat it gave great opportunity for over-head views




                                                     Fulmars picking up the scraps

                                                Good views of its tubular beak

                                                 This Gull didn't have the fish for long.

    Are they fish that you are throwing in / or are they baited in with chum?

    Nice shots Allan and the weather looks like it stayed good for you.

    Hi Barry. These were the fish that were thrown out for them. Yes Dave the weather was goodas it needes to be out there in an open boat. Off to do it again in August with David. Great having them so close. The challenge is spotting and getting the individual gannet with a fish ( Other than showing it getting mobbed and robbed by others)
