That's seaweed. Patching material for the nest. But from looking at the colony on the boat trip, it seems the gannets are not very choosy about nest building material. They seem to have a fancy for orange and blue bits of nylon rope. I know there's a British lady who's done well for herself

Thanks Jack. The lens performs very well indeed for this type of shots. It has the lowest resolution (as in MTF) of any lens I've ever used, but the contrast and rendering makes portrait shots like these come out so nicely. Jostein 2008/7/6 Jack Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Well done, Jostein!

You certainly know how to use that lens. In the picture of the 3 gannets one of them has something caught around its neck - is that seaweed, or something man-made? Bob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of AlunFoto Sent: 06 July 2008

It's material for nest renovation. In this case seaweed if I remember correctly. But the also uses a lot of nylon rope in varying colours. MaritimTim 2008/7/6 Bob W [EMAIL PROTECTED]: You certainly know how to use that lens. In the picture of the 3 gannets one of them has something caught
