After a few days in Scotland I had to post something about it. So here it is.
Only a few miles from the centre of Edinburgh and situated in the Firth of Forth, lies a rock tooth island. This is the renowned BASS ROCK famous for its history and amazing wildlife. The Bass Rock is the closest sea bird sanctuary to the mainland and was the first to be studied by ornithologists during the 19th century. This colony is the largest on the east coast of Britain and holds approximately 10% of the world population of North Atlantic Gannets.

hello William
This island seems to a little island in Brittany called "ile Rouzic" near Peros-Guirec . There is a big colony of gannet (fou de bassan) . Do you know why this bird is called "fou" (crazy, mad)...???

Hello,
Yes, indeed. There are many gannets or fous de bassan as you mentionned.
I found on the INTERNET that they were called like that by fishermen who were amazed to see the way they fished. A bit crazy it seems!!
Have a nice holiday!
