Northern gannet

The northern gannet is a striking seabird found along the North Atlantic coasts. Known for its sleek white body and long wings, it breeds in Western Europe and Northeastern North America. It’s a skilled flyer, often diving dramatically into the ocean to catch fish.

• Its wingspan stretches up to 180 cm, making it an impressive glider.
• Juveniles are grey-brown and take five years to turn fully white.
• Its blue-grey bill contrasts with the black skin around its eyes.
