Es ist schon wieder 5 Jahre her, dass ich #Helgoland besucht habe. Es wird mal wieder Zeit.
#Basstölpel (Morus bassanus) so hautnah zu erleben, ist alleine schon die Reise wert.

This chap's so happy with his Isle of May Gannet poster he wrote a song about it:

The river was deep but I swam it (Gannet)
The future is ours so let's plan it (Gannet)
So please don't tell me to can it (Gannet)
I've one thing to say & that's
Dammit, Gannet, I love you.
