Hi to all,
many persons wrongly believe that the gannets live exclusively at Bonaventure. Yet, a gannet colony installed themselves at
the Falaise aux Goélands, on the north east side of Anticosti
island. They were around 50 couples
which had installed themselves right in the middle of a large colony of Black-legged kittiwakes (10000 of them). Even if the cliffs were not of easy access as
compared to Bonaventure, the early morning sun of the east would allow many
beautiful photographic situations. On
occasions, whales and seals would come close to the cliffs, eagles and falcons
would try to catch kittiwakes and even the foxes would venture on the cliffs
for the same reason. One day in this
mythical spot and you were almost assured to be back with one or two pictures
worthy of being in magazines. This
picture got me my first canadian contest title in the Canadian Geographic
magazine. Have a nice day. Louis
