BASS ROCK'S GANNETS | BRITAIN'S GREATEST WILDLIFE SPECTACLE
I took a trip up to the Firth of Forth in Scotland to witness what has officially been voted Britain's greatest wildlife spectacle. At this time of year, hundreds of thousands of northern gannets colonise the tiny island of Bass Rock to breed after a long winter period along Africa's Atlantic coastline. The natural history of these animals is absolutely fascinating so it was a no-brainer to create a short video of my experience.

Bass Rock North Berwick...Boat Trip Pt1
Boat trip to Bass Rock, Berwick, Scotland
Bass rock (Again)
Well here it is, Saturdays dive from the east lothian divers first rib dive this year. Seen 3 lobsters, a butterfish (that eel thing),Ballen Wrasse and a dead fish at the end, which i believe was a rock-ling that tried to eat a gurnard or scorpionfish, that deployed its armour (spines on the dorsal fin) but ended up killing each other.
Enjoy

Places to see in ( North Berwick - UK )
North Berwick is a seaside town and former royal burgh in East Lothian, Scotland. North Berwick is situated on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, approximately 25 miles north-east of Edinburgh.
North Berwick became a fashionable holiday resort in the nineteenth century because of its two sandy bays, the East (or Milsey) Bay and the West Bay, and continues to attract holidaymakers to this day. Golf courses at the ends of each bay are open to visitors.
Several of the Islands of the Forth are near the town of North Berwick and visible from it: e.g. Fidra, The Lamb, Craigleith, and Bass Rock; the latter hosts a thriving colony of birds, including puffins, gannets, and other seabirds. The Bass Rock appears white, but this is due largely to the gannets and their guano that cover much of its surface. The seabirds themselves can be observed at close range through remote cameras operated from the recently developed Scottish Seabird Centre near the harbour.
The town is served by North Berwick railway station. The North Berwick Line has provided a rail link with Edinburgh since the nineteenth century and the line, now operated by ScotRail, is still the principal transit link between the town and the capital.

Bass Rock Lighthouse
Bass Rock is a steep-sided island that sits in the mouth of the Firth of Forth, near Edinburgh. The island, home to more than 150,000 gannets, is also the site of a small lighthouse, built on the South Western side of the rock.
Bass Rock From Earlsferry East Neuk Of Fife Scotland
Tour Scotland video of the Bass Rock from a long distance away on the coast of Earlsferry in the East Neuk Of Fife. The Bass Rock is situated in the Firth of Forth, two miles east of North Berwick and one mile off the mainland there. It was used as a prison during Covenanters. The Bass Rock is the closest sea bird sanctuary to the mainland and was the first to be studied by ornithologists during the 19th century, when they gave the Gannet the scientific name Sula Bassana, incorporating the name of this rocky stack. This colony is the largest on the east coast of Britain and holds approximately 10% of the world population of North Atlantic Gannets

Bass Rock has world's largest colony of Northern gannets
The Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth now has the world's largest colony of gannets following a count by experts.
There are more than 150,000 birds on the rock, 4km (2.5m) from North Berwick in East Lothian, which is an increase of 24% since the last count in 2009.
The northern gannets were counted using computers and images from the air.
Gannets travel south for the winter, many travelling as far as the coast of West Africa, and are due to return to the island within days.
The count was conducted last year and the figures compiled by Stuart Murray in conjunction with the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.
Mr Murray said: The colony was photographed from the air on 23 June 2014.
Conditions were excellent, with no wind and a high cover of thick cloud which obscured the sun, reducing the glare from all these startlingly white birds.
The images were later viewed on computer screens for counting and each occupied site was blocked-out as it was counted.
Interestingly, the most dramatic increase is between the old lighthouse keepers' garden and the summit of the Rock.
We counted around 10,000 sites in this area compared with 6,500 five years ago.
Sarah Wanless, from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, said: Our long-term research on North Sea seabirds aims to understand how species such as the gannet will cope with the rapid pace of environmental change.
This is our fifth census of the Bass Rock in the last 30 years.
It is particularly heartening to see them doing so well when so many other seabirds in Scotland appear to be in trouble, however, the Bass Rock is a small island and the gannets have now filled most of the available nesting habitat.
The colony now has only very limited capacity for further increase.
Tom Brock OBE, chief executive of the Scottish Seabird Centre, said: Scotland is of international importance for seabirds and is home to over 60% of the world's population of Northern gannets.
The figure of 75,000 sites is phenomenal especially when many apparently occupied sites will represent a breeding pair and their chick.
I would expect that the total gannet population on the Bass in the breeding season will be well in excess of 150,000 birds.
Every year the Bass Rock turns brilliant white with the sheer number of gannets crammed onto the rock and not, as some people think, with their guano.
Visitors to the Scottish Seabird Centre can control the interactive live cameras and zoom in on the live gannet action on the Bass Rock.
The Seabird Centre's boat trips to the Bass Rock start at Easter.
First records of gannets on the Bass Rock date back to the 15th century.
Gannets are Britain's largest seabird, with a wing span of over 6ft/1.8m. They can live over 30 years. They dive at speeds of up to 60mph/96kmph.
The Bass Rock was formed 320 million years ago and is the core of an old volcano.
It has been owned by the Hamilton-Dalrymple family for the last 300 years.
There is a lighthouse, built in 1902, the last keepers left in 1988 when the lighthouse was automated.
