Went on a trip to Bass Rock with Dorothy & my New Camera, Cannon SX540, the swell made taking photos hit or miss. A beautiful day, spectacular island & gannets are wonderful birds.

Amazing photos
If you’d had time I’d have welcomed you with great coffee and hugs. What a trip!
Great photos! Gannets (solans in Shetland) are my favourite birds; if it’s rough they come further up the Sound and I can sit on my sofa and watch them diving – I feel very privileged.
Fantastic photos John! How on earth did you get such close ups of the gannet? Did you land on the rock?
Gorgeous. I love watching gannets. Beautiful birds.
Thanks. I was on a boat trip:

It’s a wonderful trip, isn’t it? The size, sounds and smells make it unforgettable. That long zoom has been ideal!
What a beautiful picture.
That’s dome stunning scenery
@johnjohnston Lovely set there. Seems like a neat place for a day trip.
Quite amazing, worth a drive across the country. Nice to contrast with Ailsa. Glad to have a zoom lens again:-)
You are, I sometime see them from the shore at Troon, even at a distance there is something heart stopping about a gannet diving.
@smokey thanks. One of those places.
