During May 2019 I was able to visit Shetland with a group that had been organised jointly by Steve Race of Yorkshire Coast Nature and Brydon Thomason of Shetland Nature. One of the highlights of the trip was our boat trip to see the Gannets that gather along the Noss cliffs to nest. I’m no wildlife photographer but I do enjoy seeing and experiencing wildlife in it’s natural environment, so this was a very special trip for me and as I took so many photographs on this day I decided it deserved a separate book. On my return home I found myself focusing on the images that show the birds in flight, of which I had many. I’ve found myself particularly fascinated with the way my camera has revealed the wing shapes of these acrobats of the seabird world and I make no apology for the fact that Gannets in flight occupy a significant place in this photo book.
