Gannet Bird Pillows

Show your love of this amazing North Atlantic diving seabird!

Famed for its super-fast fishing dives into the sea and its nesting on the cliffs at Bempton in Yorkshire.

Cape Kidnappers, New Zealand At this time of year (early November) some birds are sitting on eggs, but most haven't yet laid; there is mating activity and the males are carrying in nesting material (mostly seaweed) which gets cemented with the droppings into the nest structure. 8E1311.0462 Nikon D800E | Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 VRII + TC-20E III @ 400mm f/11 1/800s ISO400 | Raw Featured in Love these Creatures (6 May 2016) Featured in Tuesday Afternoon (8 May 2016) Featured in The Best of Anything & Everything (2 August 2016) Top 10 in Everyday Life "Birds" (7 September 2014) Top 10 in The Best of Anything & Everything "Gathering of birds" (1 August 2016) [425views 28/4/2016]

These migrating seabirds nest on Norfolk Island and it is always a joy to find a colony of adults and chicks on the sea cliffs. This cute chick is getting bigger but still has its 'baby fluff,' yet to get it's adult feathers.

We don't know where they come from. But they're not friendly.

The northern gannet is a fabulous seabird to watch as it dives vertically into the sea at speeds of up to 62 mph to feed on mackerel and herring. They thrive in large colonies located on cliffs overlooking the ocean or on small, elevated rock islands. This photograph was taken along the Atlantic seaboard in the gannet's non-breeding range.
