150000 Gannets, and a lighthouse.

150000 Gannets, and a lighthouse.
Please view Large! The sight and sounds of 150000 gannets who nest on Bass Rock in peak season over the spring to autumn months. Is simply amazing!

The Bass Rock is an impressive island/rock on the North Berwick coast in the Firth of Forth, east Scotland. Sir David Attenborough has described the Gannet colony at Bass Rock as one of the 12 wildlife wonders of the world.

The Lighthouse is a 20-metre (66 ft) tall, built in 1902,It has been automated since 1988, When viewed large the ruins of St Baldred's Chapel, built on the site of St Baldred's hermitage can be seen (center of the rock),,,,,,,,, HWW!

Blues are little strong apologies!

This gigantic promontory over the sea is really surprising. I didn't know it existed. The lighthouse doesn't seem very visible from the opposite side.
Kind regards, Anton.

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Anton Cruz Carro club
Thank you, Anton, The lighthouse is I assume predominantly for shipping travelling north through the Firth!

I like the different blue tones of the sea and sky...........and the sunshine is lovely...........lighting up the rock perfectly. Well worth viewing large, but I didn't bother trying to count the birds, I'll take your word for it!

There will be a lot of guano there too.........and the smell :-)))

Nice to see the lighthouse and the ruins of the chapel too, although I might have missed the ruins if you hadn't told us where they were.

I think this is one of the best shots of Bass Rock I've seen from the shore.

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Keith Burton club
Excellent and interesting comments Keith, thank you!

Thankfully the day brought an offshore breeze which took the majority of the downsides out across the Firth, having said that the sight of so many birds was simply awe-inspiring.
