Wowwwww... (that's what I literally said when I viewed it! ) What an awesome shot. I agree with Ted... a wall hanger for sure.

It's been quite a while since I've seen and photographed the gannets. Your photos are making me want to make another trip there! Your photos of the gannets in the snow are probably the best gannet photos I've ever seen. And, living in NL, I see a lot of gannet photos.

LoL,thanks Mike.
Those Mockingbirds sure are determined acrobatic flyers.
That Osprey was also hassled that day by a Blue Jay and another Osprey.
Move your feet lose your seat
Happy trails,
Paul

Cool shots, Paul. That mockingbird just doesn't give up, does he.

Cool shot Gary! I think I'd title that one, "Gluttony."

Haha! You're being kind but you and Shooz were the two who were responsible for us going there!

That is an awesome photo. Beautiful birds.
Curious how they get so many at once?

Thanks.

The puffins have tiny barbs on their tongues and it stops the fish from getting off. I guess the scoop through the water with their beaks open. It's quite strange how some come in with 10's of fish, whereas others will fly in with one or two...

Thanks Gary. Explains a lot. There's been a few awesome photos of Puffins with beaks crammed with little fish.

Over-fishing by humans. Probably climate change too, warming our waters. It's a problem - and not just for Puffins.
