A Cape Gannet looking skywards for anticipation of its returning partner. Gannets spend hours out at see to feed, and then return to this island - Lamberts Bay on the west coast of South Africa. This is one of the largest Gannet colonies in the world. After processing this, I could have come up from the bottom to eliminate the OOF Gannet in the LRC, but decided to leave it in. There are a lot of restrictions where one can photograph these birds, most not ideal, but some sweet talking to an official, one can get to a vantage point for a short while to capture some decent angles and shots. Taken early morning.
Wishing everyone a Happy New year for 2021.
