Gannets

In this part of the north sea everything is referred to the north. Even the birds. These two magnificent birds are called not only Gannets, but Northern Gannets. With their strong powerful flight they glide for hours in almost any weather. The flying capabilities of these birds must be the dream of every fighterpilot. Upwind, Downwind, High or just skimming the wave tips, these perfect flyers can do it all and must have a lot of fun when they see us in our shaking and roaring planes and helicopters. Not only masters in flying, these bird are also well equipped by nature for spectacular plunges for fish from great heights. From heights up to 30 meters, they drop themselves like divebombers in the water. They can dive as deep as 22 meters! In just a few seconds. That makes them not only master flyers, but also master divers. Dazzling white birds with ice blue eyes, I have never seen colder killer eyes than of a Northern Gannet.
