Gannet (Sula bassana)

The Gannet has been classified as a Amber list species-medium conservation concern.

Birds of the open ocean, Gannets breed on small islands and steep cliffs off the NW coast of Europe and winter at sea. Gannets feed on fish by plunge diving from 25m and nest in large, noisy colonies. The nest is made up of a pile of seaweed.
