This is a heavy crop from a photo I took way back in July 2020. The quality isn't great, you need a higher quality telephoto lens than I've got and as yet I've not been able to justify such expense to myself, let alone The Management.

Re: gannet in flight
Well done Ken! The shot from above is special and probably a bit tricky to be in the right spot at the right time! A super expensive telephoto lens would make it a bit crisper, etc. but this photo is special the way it is. Thanks for sharing! :)

The photo was taken from the footpath that runs along the top of Bempton Cliffs
For a view of the cliffs, see this photo:

Ken, console yourself with the knowledge that a better telephoto lens would be far heavier and less generally useful; meanwhile know that the picture you got was superb!
Thanks for sharing it with us.
