I've discovered I have over 100 edited photographs of Northern gannets from my visits to RSPB Troup Head this year. These are the last few I finally got round to finishing. These were taking using a Nikon D7100 + Nikon f/4 300mm IF-ED lens.

Thanks same here,
Can't wait to head back up in 2018, got plans to finally get a trip to the Isle of May and Bass rock to see the Puffins, Gannets and other seabirds (was too late this year) and improve on what I've learned this last year.

Thanks and they are amazing birds to photograph. I like the focal length and feel its well built for the 2nd hand price I payed.
