Young Gannet Plumage

March 6, 2016 by Jade Craven Leave a Comment

One of the highlights of my January trip to Point Danger was seeing the gannets at various ages. These photos don’t do it justice – nothing can.

It is an experience that requires more then just one hour. I have no idea how to have more experiences like this, nor how I can afford it. Pelagics? All I know is that gannets are up there with red tailed black cockatoos.

This one has a little bit of green on its head. Any reason why?

And this one still has a downy patch amongst the newish black. (or the wrong way around. (I love, love, love watching the young.)
