I’m in awe of the gannets that can dive from a height of 30 metres, achieving speeds of 100 km/h as they strike the water to catch fish. It’s the first time I’ve attempted to photograph them as they fish further out than my telephoto lens allows to produce quality images but they captivated me anyway yesterday as they circled the bay searching for their prey. When they spot a potential catch in mid-flight, they seem to twist their body quickly, almost like a dancer and then invert, streamline and make a huge splash.
