Highly Commended – Birds of a Feather – While on a visit to Bird Island Nature reserve, in Lamberts Bay. I spent several hours observing the rather fascinating and often humorous antics of the many Gannets who breed there. I captured an image of this particular fellow who seemed rather proud with his find of a feather, which he had lodged firmly in his beak! -Braeme Holland, Cape Town Canon 5D MK4, Canon EF 500mm f4 IS USM, f/8,ISO 500,1/3200 sec
