Gannets and gulls fishing. Northern gannets (Morus bassanus, yellow heads) and gulls (family Laridae) diving for fish. The Northern gannet is a migratory seabird that spends the winter at sea in the North Atlantic. It returns to land to breed, where it congregates in large colonies. It feeds on fish, plunge-diving into the water from great heights. Photographed in the Firth of Forth, Scotland, UK.
