[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another Gannet photo taken at one of my favourite spots RSPB Bempton Cliffs nature reserve. It is the only mainland England place to see a large variety of sea birds including breeding Gannets and Puffins.

I have decicated this picture to Joe (joey) our young enthusiastic friend who has developed to a very good wildlife photographer and is learning more all the time. I have encouraged Joe to go and see the birds at Bempton Cliffs. I hope he will soon have the opportunity.

Hi Pekka,

Beautiful dedication to our friend Joe. This Gannet is absolutely superb. The details of the face, body, and wings are remarkable. Colors are marvelous - you could not have shown this bird off better. The background of the sea and sky is wonderful. An outstanding shot!

Hello Pekka,

This is a great shot, showing lovely details of the gannet.

(I am an expert on gannets! That is what I always called my son, who had a great capacity for food!)

It's a pity the sealine is on the horizon because I feel it would have been great to rotate it a few degrees to give its wings more of a diagonal composition!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

many thanks for your warm comments on 'Sniffing for food'.

Hello Pekka,

Good capture and great colors and details.

Hi Pekka

Great action shot - lovely pose plus good detail and colour! Nice dedication to Joe.

Have you been to Grassholm in Pembrokeshire - there is a massive colony there (look in my Pembroke section in UK folder).
