Gannet with nesting material

I was in Great Saltee in Southern Ireland in May. I have been to the Saltees many times over the years, but it had been a long time since I was last there, so it was great to go back, felt like I was visiting a new place. It is a fantastic location for Seabirds, but I think it is one of the best places to see and photograph Gannets. During May this beautiful bird is busy pair bonding and nest building, so a great time to visit a colony as a lot is going on. This individual kept bringing large chunks of vegetation back to its nest.
