Next up we came along a nesting site for the Northern Gannet. Gannets like to use pieces of fishing nets in their nests. The color pieces are stolen from fishing nets. It was amazing to see mating rituals and breeding pairs reacquainting with mates after being separated for months, then returning to this nesting site. -

The apex predators in the colony are the Eagles. This area has White Tailed or Sea Eagles. Two eagles became three eagles. Eagles doing what eagles do this time of year. -

Puffins are not elegant fliers. They can take a long time to get airborne. In the cliffs above us I could see thousands of nesting birds. -

We were told this is one of the largest bird colonies in Europe. I believe it. There were thousands of Puffins and other birds. -

After around 20 minutes we see our first group of Cormorants gathered together on a small island. The next rock in the sea introduced us some Razorbills. I'm skipping a lot of photos because I took so many. In the interest of brevity and being able to get to a bar soon, I am posting just a handful I quickly picked out. -

Here wer board a vessel along with a group from the Hurtigruten ship that came to port after us. We were provided full and proper rain gear that kept us dry and warm. The fishing village we left from. -

Okay my turn... The word for today is... wet. A map of of route over the top of the island and back down to the water at Gjesvaer. It was almost an hour long ride but it was interesting to see Northern Norway as this area is above the tree line reminding me of the tundra of Canada's far North and Arctic. -

https://northcapetours.com/en/birdsafari I’m booked on the Bird Safari. There are 13 of us on this tour. We are sitting on the bus at the pier out of the rain waiting for our departure time. There was a break in the rain while I was checking out the town earlier. The rain has returned. I went back to the ship and put on my full rain pants and jacket for this tour. We may get wet but they assure us we will see birds. 😂 -

We are going through the rain I spotted earlier so I jumped into the WJ for some breakfast. From the relative dryness of the deck 12 overhang. -
