Head shot of a Gannet looking very spick and span. Great watching these birds living on the cliffs and at sea. UK

Beaut mugshot, Andy. Are they that light shade yellow on the neck down? Ours are a much stronger orange-yellow?
Yes ours also generally have a stronger orange and yellow head and neck. Although you can see examples with lesser colouring, wether this is a mature thing or not I do not know. I have attached a typical shot of a Northern Gannet collecting nesting material on the cliff tops. We also have quite a few gannets with solid black eyes, apparently these are the birds that have had bird flu and survived. Thanks for the comment. (y)
