There are around 40,000 nesting Northern Gannets on this island nature reserve off the coast. They only nest on the one side and thus half the island is green and the other half white with birds.
We also saw seals and a few puffins swimming along.
The most entertaining aerial display was by this seagull who managed to steadily fly about three feet above our heads as the boat sped along. A tourist threw up an apple core and he dove within a foot of my head to retrieve it.
We arrived on Ile aux Moines and disembarked to explore.
There is a lighthouse and some ruins.
We made a sand horse on the beach after our return to land.
