The webcam images you are watching are transmitted live, direct from the Seabird Centre’s cameras, which are located on the islands of the Firth of Forth and controlled by visitors at the Centre.

Gannets mate for life (up to 40 years) and return to the same nest each year, which can prove a challenge in a colony of over 150,000 gannets. The gannets spend most of the year on the Bass Rock, mating, nesting and rearing their chicks until the end of October, when the juveniles set out on their long journey to the West Coast of Africa. Find out how you can adopt a Bass Rock Gannet Family and watch their progress through the year?
Although almost exclusively the domain of the gannets, the lower ledges of the Bass are home to shags, guillemots and razorbills, with seals hauling up on the rocks below. Several puffins also nest within the ruins of the old fortifications.
