 The Northern gannet (Morus bassanus) is a seabird, the largest species of the gannet family, Sulidae. It is native to the coasts of the North Atlantic Ocean, breeding in Western Europe and Northeastern North America. It is the largest seabird in the northern Atlantic.

 Nesting takes place in colonies on both sides of the North Atlantic, the largest of which are at the Bass Rock (75,000 pairs as of 2014). Just look at this rock! It is completely covered with gannets!

This is how the couples greet each other. They live in monogamous pairs, reach sexual maturity at age 5, and can live up to 30 years

 

Northern gannets have streamlined bodies adapted for plunge-diving at high speed as well as powerful neck muscles. The nostrils are inside the bill and can be closed to prevent water entry.

Development process of a SunsOut shaped puzzle (approx. 1000 pieces) - updated 11th April and completed

Our forum in Germany hosts various events, including the Megamarathon. You’re already familiar with that one. For many years now, we’ve also been holding what we call “relay puzzle events.” Originally, a specific theme and time frame were set, and as long as someone was still working on the puzzle, other participants could join in.

 These days, a relay puzzle event lasts 3–6 months. The names of everyone interested in suggesting a theme for an event are placed in a raffle box. These wonderful people are known as “Relay Puzzle Sponsors” (according to a godparent). As soon as one event ends, the next sponsor is selected by lottery.

 There is currently an event named 

“Our Oceans”
