Gannets by Maria Elena Ferrari Italy

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!
