As of today, peak season now, through ~July 31. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
Little Skellig (Sceilig Bheag) off County Kerry, Ireland, hosts one of the largest Northern Gannet colonies in the world.
During the breeding season tens of thousands of pairs nest on the steep cliffs, producing continuous daytime flight activity and dense rafting offshore.
The colony is protected and viewing is by boat only.
