Zoltán Gergely Nagy - Gannet Dive
Elegant, powerful and lightning fast – just some words that could describe a fishing gannet, Europe’s biggest seabird.
On this particular afternoon in Scotland, the North Sea was strangely peaceful, there were only a few lonely gannets diving after fish and breaking the waves near Dunbar harbour. These birds have mesmerized me right from my first encounters with them, so it was deeply impressive to see them fishing in these calm waters.
I wish you all Happy Holidays, and a great New Year!

Cannot describe it other than arrow-like. Makes it very clear how they are so fast. Amazing photo.
Have a very happy Christmas and may 2013 be as you would like it.
