Close-up frontal portrait of a Northern Gannet (Morus bassanus) staring directly into the camera with an intense, almost confrontational expression. White rounded head with a buff-yellow crown, pale grey bill, and piercing ice-blue eyes framed by dark facial skin. Soft blue-grey background, warm-brown blurred colony birds in the foreground. Photo by Geert Klein Breteler.

A close-up, side-profile portrait of a Northern Gannet. The bird’s head is a brilliant white with a soft, warm golden-yellow wash over the crown and nape. Its striking pale blue eye is encircled by a ring of bare turquoise-blue skin and distinctive black facial markings. The long, powerful beak is a pale silver-grey, and the entire subject is set against a deep, solid blue background that makes the bird’s bright features stand out.

Digital watercolor of a northern gannet flying. She has a white, body, underwing coverts, secondaries, and tail. The primaries are black. The top of her head is yellowish, and the bottom pale yellow. Her eyes are pale with blue eye lids and outlined in black. Around her eyes is also back. Her pale blue grey beak is long, thick and pointed. The area around the primaries looks like splattered black watercolor paint. The background is various shades of pale blue.

One of the birds I like photographing while in flight, and not easy to get good pictures with more than one in the same frame: Northern Gannets, seen from Breezy Point in December 2025. They are so lovely and graceful! #northerngannet #gannets #birds #birdinflight #birdwatching

Winter shot of the Bass Rock, North Berwick, East Lothian
I rather like the occasional winter shot of the #BassRock, #NorthBerwick #EastLothian - now that we’ve reached the longest day of the year it’s only 8-10 weeks until the #gannets are back

✨ Door 7 — Northern Gannet
The masters of the plunge dive! Gannets can strike the water at speeds up to 60mph, folding their wings back like arrows. Their colonies are spectacular — and vital indicators of ocean health.

Northern gannet in flight over the ocean, displaying white plumage with a yellowish head, and black-tipped wings. The background is a textured, grayish-blue water surface.

NOGA#4. I’m home sick today and looking through some older images. This is a #northerngannet (Morus bassanus) breeding colony on Cape St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve, Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland. There is so much going on in this shot! I photographed these lovelies in 2022. #birds #birdphotography

A northern gannet comes in from hunting out at sea, hopefully with food for the little ones. Landing gear deployed, flaps full out...

2 Northern Gannets at a nesting grounds off the coast of Maine near Newfoundland.
This is Gary the Gannet.
Gary is not good at nesting.
Gary nests on slopes where eggs roll out.
Gary crushes his eggs.
Don't be like Gary.

A bar chart showing percentages of adult and juvenile Northern gannets admitted to wildlife rehabilitation with different injuries/ conditions. These include: emaciation, exhaustion, trauma, hook and line, neurologic and aspergillosis (fungal infection). From the paper by Aaron Pahl.
The last (but not least!) paper from our journal's latest issue - #Seabird 37 - is online now! doi.org/10.61350/sbj...
This one is all about mortality & aspergillosis (a fungal infection 🍄 & silent killer) in rescued gannets #northerngannet #wildliferehabilitation #seabirdhealth

These amorous gannets were seen a couples years back on a trip to Machias Seal Island in Maine. A massive colony of Northern Gannets can be seen on Île Bonaventure, Quebec. #northerngannet #morusbassanus #birds #seabirds #machiassealisland

Upon our arrival on Prince Edward Island we were lucky to be graced with Northern Gannets.
Their head plumage was so much brighter than I am used to as it dulls by September and I don't get to see them until the winter on the NYC/NJ shores.
