2009 favourite
Posted on 15 January 2010
I’ve been after this piercing eye for years and hundreds of discarded photographs. This year I finally captured it.
And that’s why this is my 2009 favourite shot. A Gannet carrying weed for its nest at the Muriwai Gannet colony.
Today is theme day for the Daily Photo community: The 2009 favourite shot
