"We always go to Selectspecs!" Northern Gannets, Bempton Cliffs RSPB, Bempton, East Yorkshire. DSC_8916.jpg
I'd gone to Bempton to try to catch up with the albatross after a less than satisfactory first visit, almost 2 months earlier.
I'd been photographing Gannets and Fulmars and the odd gull in flight in front of the platform at Staple Newk, when one of the Gannets flew in and landed relatively close to the platform and joined its mate on the cliff. Both promptly embarked upon lengthy greeting and bonding behaviour. Without thinking about the camera settings (as ever), I banged off a number of shots on reflex. This is one of those photos - it had an obvious appeal as soon as I saw it back home...
Thank you for your faves and comments - always much appreciated.
