I saw this Gannets (Sula bassana) in the Ecomare's centre on Texel island (protected nature reserve in Netherland). I hope one day to admire them in nature in their spectacular diving!I'd like to put on paper animals, landscapes and emotions of that wonderful trip ...
The Gannets perform vertical dives from at times considerable height!! They breeding in the North Sea, in colonies on rocky islands. Recently they breeding also in Mediterranean Sea!
I've seen brown pelicans diving, but never gannets. I hope you get to see them.
ReplyDeleteLovely painting.
Hi Elva!That would also like me to see the pelicans!!Fascinated me this attitude of "grooming" has fascinated me!While one gannet slept the other took care cleaning her!
ReplyDeleteGannets are so gorgeous...you really captured their colors.
