The southern gannet in flight is a striking vision of grace and power. With a wingspan that can stretch over six feet, it glides effortlessly above the open sea, riding air currents with barely a beat of its long, narrow wings. Its snowy white plumage gleams in the sunlight, offset by jet-black wingtips that slice cleanly through the sky. From high above, the gannet scans the waves with piercing blue eyes, searching for the shimmer of fish beneath the surface. This is a bird built for flight and the hunt—elegant in the air, lethal in the dive.

The Northern Gannet is a striking seabird with predominantly white plumage, contrasting black wingtips, and a pale yellow head. Its long, pointed bill is blue-grey and has distinctive blue eye-rings.

The adult northern gannet has a mainly white streamlined body with a long neck, and long and slender wings with a wingspan of nearly two metres. The head and nape have a buff tinge that is more prominent in the breeding season, and the wings are edged with dark brown-black feathers. Juveniles are mostly grey-brown, becoming increasingly white in the five years it takes them to reach maturity.
