Where do northern Gannet live?
They normally nest in large colonies, on cliffs overlooking the ocean or on small rocky islands. Northern gannet colonies can be found in the far north in regions that are very cold and stormy, and Nelson has suggested that they can survive in these regions for several reasons, including the combination of body weight and a powerful beak that allows them to capture strong muscular fish, and the ability to dive to great depths and capture prey far from the cliffs.
