A gannet colony is a large gathering of gannets, which are seabirds known for their striking white plumage and long wings. These colonies are typically found on coastal cliffs or islands, where the birds nest in large numbers. Gannets are social creatures, and their colonies can consist of thousands of individuals, creating a lively and noisy environment. In a gannet colony, the birds engage in various activities such as nesting, feeding, and caring for their young. They are skilled divers, plunging into the ocean to catch fish. The colonies are important for the survival of the species, providing safety in numbers and a suitable habitat for breeding.
