The amazing gannets of Bass Rock - a photo on Flickriver

            Been feeling really down since hearing about the avian flu hitting seabird colonies like this one. I remember seeing a gannet washed up on a beach in Lindisfarne in May and, seeing no injury, assumed it died of natural causes. 1 month later and I read about the catastrophe that is unfolding in seabird colonies around the UK. This image was taken last year. I've heard the number of gannets on Bass Rock is frighteningly low compared to what it should be.
