Bird flu survivor
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Really interested to see black eye gannets in Orkney. Researchers at the Bass Rock think it's linked to bird flu survival post HPAIV infection. Black iris gannets had antibodies for HPAIV showing they had previously been infected and survived! Nothing out yet about how and why their eyes change like that, but very intersting

these COLOURS, you guys!
some gannets hunting for their dinner.
I really enjoy the motion in this carving, the bubbles and the trails in the water.

BOTD: Northern Gannet
Tumblr media
Photo: Keith Yates
"One of the largest seabirds of the North Atlantic, the gannet is spectacular as it plunges into the sea in pursuit of fish. With a spear-like bill and spiky tail, it looks 'pointed at both ends.' Nesting colonies are on northern sea cliffs; one at Bonaventure Island, Quebec, has become a famous tourist destination. In winter off southern coastlines, the gleaming white adults may be outnumbered by brown and patchy immatures; it takes four years for gannets to attain full adult plumage."

Thousands of pairs of nesting northern gannets cover the top of Stac Lee, a sea stack near Boreray Island, Scotland.
