Air Traffic Control

The RSPB say that Gannets are: “…distinctively shaped with a long neck and long pointed beak, long pointed tail, and long pointed wings.” I note the use of the words ‘long’ and ‘pointed’.

I like this shot with the out of focus flying Gannet in the background:

This one gave a definite peck with, you guessed it, its long and pointed beak:

The wind conditions are just right as the Gannets begin to accumulate just in front of us as we sit at the edge of the cliffs. They are stacked as neatly as if air traffic control was guiding them:

They are unearthly creatures:
