Gannet
enough otters, here's a gannet no real skill in flight photography can be claimed here as the birds were barely moving just slowly inching backwards in an attempt to land due to the wind, the trickiest thing was trying to stay on my feet

have a lot of shots from there and was glad to get flight shots i didn't have to crop

from Hermaness, the nature reserve at the northenmost point of the northernmost island on shetland, quite a special place

40D + 300mm F4L + 1.4 extender
1/640 @ F5.6
ISO 320
FULL FRAME
