Northern gannets

Signing up to the RSPB’s gannet boat trip from Bridlington guarantees an exciting half hour surrounded by these beautiful, big, hungry seabirds.  It’s amazing how a couple of bucketfuls of mackerel can attract not a few, but hundreds of gannets for a free feast.  Of course, for every one skilful or lucky enough to grab a fish, there are plenty who fail and leave still hungry.  For the photographer, with a fast shutter speed, there are plenty of opportunities for an action-packed shot.  Here are a few of mine taken from the stern of the Yorkshire Belle.
