We were very lucky this afternoon to witness a group of eight gannets diving into the sea off of Durlston Country Park. The sky was dark and the gannets showed up bright white against the sky. They're quite distinctive and were easily spotted as they whirled about and dived like rockets in to the sea. I love watching these birds, we've seen them before in North Devon but I don't remember seeing them before in Dorset. Even with a good zoom lens the birds were really too far out to photograph but we did anyway and you may just be able to make the gannets out as little spots on the horizon!!
This friendly cow was keen to say hello as we walked through the Country Park.
Behind this picture, all was very muddy!!

Gannets!
We also saw a few guillemots skimming the surface of the sea as well as all of the usual sea birds that we are lucky enough to see from the cliffs.
