The UK holds internationally important populations of breeding seabirds, including 90% of the world's Manx shearwaters, 68% of northern gannets, and 60% of great skuas. Peter Cairns, Chris Gomersall and Alex Mustard photographed the gannetries of Bass Rock and Hermaness, and a variety of other seabirds on land, in the air and underwater around the Hebrides, Shetlands and Pembrokeshire coast.
