EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a messy nest! These Northern Gannet adults in the Shetland Islands have taken recycling to a whole new level. Instead of twigs and leaves, they've decided to decorate their nests with fishing rubbish! It seems like these birds are not only skilled fishermen but also eco-conscious decorators. Hermaness, Unst is not your average nesting colony. With its stunning coastal views and abundant marine life, it's no wonder these gannets chose this spot as their summer vacation destination. However, instead of enjoying the pristine beauty of the Shetland Islands, they've turned it into an avant-garde art installation made entirely out of discarded fishing materials. From ropes to nets and even bits of trash, these resourceful gannets have transformed their homes into a statement on environmental pollution. They're sending a clear message: "We may be seabirds, but we care about our ocean too!". While some might see this as littering or polluting, others can't help but admire their creativity and dedication to raising awareness about marine debris. Who knew that bird nests could become works of art? So next time you visit Hermaness in June, keep an eye out for these fashionable gannets who are turning trash into treasure!
