An unseasonal Gannet
I was using my time during the bad weather to catch up with some processing. This immature Gannet was taken on my trip to the Bass Rock earlier in the year. Yes, the sky really was that blue - no saturation added at all. Unfortunately the yellow head is not very prominent on this young bird but at least he gave me a decent pose.
500mm
exp 1/750 @ f9.5 iso 200
tripod and video head.

Nothing to dislike here, an excellent capture. Well seen and taken.

Very nice indeed Robert, the blue sky is echoed in the eye. Great position in the frame too :smile:
