Gannets are magnificent birds, glad you got to enjoy hanging out with them

🤩 I know that transcendent feeling that comes with intimate bird encounters, especially unforeseen ones, it’s like you’ve been given access to an alternate, higher-definition/dimension universe for a brief window of time.

They seemed to be having a marvellous time tbh

Actually, I didn't! I was so overwhelmed by them that I didn't draw at all. I would love to go back and see them again though to change that!

Thank you for such a lovely piece. I visited Bempton Cliffs two years and it was watching the gannets that took my breath away. I was completely unprepared for how magnificent they were.

Thankyou! I’d spent two years trying to get to those gannets and I was still overwhelmed by the spectacle. Amazing place. I expect you got some good sketches done x

I’m going to Skomer on Tuesday and I’ll be very disappointed if I don’t trip over a puffin.

You’ll trip over three puffins and land on a crispy ex-manx shearwater. Frankly I’m surprised my son didn’t smuggle one home with him. Have a lovely time!
