A Glut of Gannets...

...Assuming that is the Collective Noun for Gannets. Bempton Cliffs in East Yorkshire is the place to see and photograph these superb birds which breed in good numbers from March onward.  I arrived on a cold April morning just after dawn. A bitter wind was blasting off the North Sea. The Gannets were everywhere, coming in from fishing sorties, sitting on nests or claiming nesting material from the cliff tops. The weather conditions were ideal for a close encounter; when the wind hits the high cliffs it produces an updraft which the Gannets can steer into and just hang in the air feet away from you, or drop down slowly onto the cliff top to pick up their nesting material.

Thanks for looking.
