The gannet gang
The little island of Runde was one of my destinations in Norway. It is well known for its large Puffin colony but also home to several thousands of Gannets who were starting to breed on the steep rocks. And separate from these birds there were many other bird species so it was a very enjoyable place to spend a few days.
It took me quite some tries to get a few decent shots of Gannets who were circling around the cliffs. while I was standing at ca 200 meters above sea level. Most of the time they were deep down, so my autofocus was continously in error on what to focus on, the sea with all its moving waves or some fast moving birds everywhere.
This little group of Gannets was riding on the wind, and therefor they were hanging around.
