A view from Port Wemyss in June 2013, Gannets passing the rocks at the southern end of Orsay on a breezy day with a big swell coming in from the Atlantic.

Lovely image. I’m always looking at gannets around the coastline of Scotland. Amazing birds to watch especially when fishing. Enjoying your record of Islay.
I had an Otter at Saligo Bay 20 feet away from me casually going over the beach. While I had a camera it was getting too dark to use it. Still an amazing memory though.

I agree, they are wonderful birds to watch, but so tricky to capture in picture when they’re fishing….
I remember being out fishing once an the gannets were diving for fish no further than 10 feet from the boat, awesome, but never had a camera with me
Wow, that must have been quite a sight!
