#gannets — Public Fediverse posts

The campaign against the annual guga hunt on Sula Sgeir is gaining momentum as it has also been shown to be harming endangered Leach’s storm petrels. 🐦 https://veganfta.com/articles/2026/06/11/red-listed-seabird-at-risk-from-the-infamous-guga-hunt-in-scotland/ #seabirds #birds #gannets

I have to repeat my blue-footed booby for the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Gannets. They're in family Sulidae (gannets and boobies) together. I'm sure there's a funny way to incorporate the alternative bird, #BlueTits, into this post now. But I don't have pictures of any of those, regardless. 📷🌿🪶

Gannets diving next to the Bass Rock, an outcrop in the Firth of Forth, #Scotland. Seabirds that have survived bird flu are continuing to reproduce, but low-breeding performance is a “serious concern”, researchers have said.

Nesting gannets and their young at the Bempton Cliffs nature reserve in Yorkshire, #England. More than 250,000 seabirds have flocked to the chalk cliffs to find a mate and raise their young, an annual event from April to August.

The #gannets on Heligoland are so close, that you can really appreciate their aerobatics.

My wife and I spent a few days on #Heligoland (#Helgoland) this summer.
The architecture is not pretty and the food not great, but there are some great encounters with #wildlife!
We were too late for masses of breeding razorbills and guillemots, but the colonies of the #gannets were still occupied and are right beside the accessible foodpaths!

Watch them fall from the sky like feathered darts! 🎯

Northern Gannets put on an astonishing show, plunging into the ocean with incredible force to feed.

Pure avian artistry! ✨
