Another short break from insects Smile This shot of Gannets was captured on Bass rock, Scotland. It is as taken, thats is to say no cropping, what really makes me smile, is the two birds looking up from the bottom right hand side, I can almost hear them thinking where the heck are you gonna land Smile Of course I didn't see them at the time of taking Grin

Many thanks to all for yesterdays clicks and comments, as always they are very welcome.
