[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This colony of Cape Gannet (Morus Capensis) are sitting around and causing noise through all their social activity like only a gannet can.

The noise is deafening and their antics are hilarious. They have difficulty taking off and landing, seeing that their airport facilities are somewhat crowded.

A feeling frequent flyers will understand.

Bonjour Dirk,
On ressent bien cet effet de masse.
Tous ces oiseaux tourné du même côté (enfin presque) donne un visuel de profondeur et la luminosité réflèchie est très agréable.
J'aime bien la présentation 16/9
Bonne journée

Hi Dirk,
Superb capture excellent brightness and contrast unless the small f-stop (f/3.0) a nice sharp picture with fine DOF, even the last rows of Gannets are reasonably sharp. Excellent presentation with the black frame.
Job well done my friend.

Hi Dirk,

Excellent photo.
Really.
Just a pity that top lefthand corner is a little blurred.
Great job!

Hi there!
A lovely shot of some of nature's most interesting birds. The sharp details are amazing, and your framing works really well - the birds filling the shot completely is excellent.
Well done!
PS - great note too!

Great capture - reminds me of an M C Escher picture where the pattern of shapes repeats, and the gap between the birds becomes bird shaped.
Beautiful colours and sharp details, offset nicely by the simple border.
Thanks for sharing

theyre like clones! powerful picture!

Hello Dirk!

I love this one. What a spectacular view , with virtually all of them looking up in the sky . They look that a choral !

Like you we have sanctuary in our area. You may visit previous images posted by me , and fellow members like , Beger , lucbus .

They are amazing birds. And indeed they are really fun to watch. They are landing almost like an Harrier, but less elegantly, as they seem to drop more than land gently.

Looking forward discovering your works!
Cheers!
Robert
