2010

If you are into birds and bird photography – then you should consider visiting Bonaventure Island off the Gaspé Peninsula in Quebec, Canada. Its main attraction (as of 2009) is almost 60,000 pairs of nesting Northern Gannets – now the largest Northern Gannet colony in the world!

These pictures were taken on 25-26 June.
