Northern Gannet with it’s eye on me

I have spent many hours photographing the gannets at the RSPB reserve Troup Head on the East Coast of Scotland throughout the Summer.  I did make a visit to the RSPB reserve at Bempton Cliffs, East Yorkshire for the first time and the RSPB have excellent facilities for visitors but sadly none at Troup Head, nevertheless in the right weather conditions Troup Head can offer fantastic close up encounters of these magnificent seabirds.  I just love their piercing blue eyes.
