Northern Gannet returning to mate with seaweed

Another Gannet image from my recent Gannets Galore and so much more workshops in Quebec. I photographed this frame of a special seaweed delivery by a Northern Gannet to its waiting partner with the Sony Alpha a9 III Mirrorless camera and Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS Lens @268mm.
