Bass

The Bass Rock is an island in the outer part of the Firth of Forth in the east of #Scotland. Approximately 2 km (1 mi) offshore, and 5 km (3 mi) north-east of North Berwick, it is a steep-sided volcanic plug, 107 m (351 ft) at its highest point, and is home to a huge colony of gannets.

At high zoom, the true density of the bird colony is obvious.

A colour photo of one side of a steep-sided island, with a clear cyan sky overhead and a calm blue sea. The more horizontal ledges of the island are painted white by guano and the overflow has almost completely covered the vertical faces. At 100% magnification, individual birds can be seen, covering every available nesting ledge of which there are many. Beyond the island, on the left, the air is full of birds arriving and departing.
