We hope you enjoy our new live streaming webcam with audio, direct from the Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth, the world's largest single island gannet colony, described by Sir David Attenborough as "one of the twelve wildlife wonders of the world". You can watch the gannets communicate through highly ritualised displays, ranging from delicate mutual preening to all out battles. "Gannet Speak" includes "sky pointing" = "I am about to fly off, leaving you in charge of the egg/chick", "bowing" = "this is my nest" and "beak-fencing" = "you are my mate".  Book your tickets in advance to experience this wonderful spectacle for yourself or find out about taking a boat trip to the island.
