Description
The Island known as Bass Rock is a volcanic plug on the fringe of the Firth of Forth Scotland. At various times between the 13th and 18th centuries the island served as a fortress and a prison. A lighthouse was constructed on the rock in 1902. Boat trips round and to the island are organised from Dunbar and North Berwick on the mainland. Bass Rock is a Site of Special Scientific Interest being home to more than 150,000 breeding Gannets (Northern Gannet (Morus bassanus)) and is the largest single rock gannetry in the world. Other bird species present include Razorbills, Guillemots, Cormorant, Puffin, Eider Duck and gulls.

Description
Gannet preening,Most birds have a preen gland, or uropygial gland, at the base of the tail. The gland produces uropygial oil, a waxy substance used to waterproof and condition feathers. Rubbing the preen gland with the beak, a bird picks up the oil and then distributes it onto feathers by rubbing the beak over the feathers. It’s thought that the oil from the preen gland also helps to make the feathers supple and strong and prevents them from drying out. Preening is especially important for diving birds such as gannets as distributing the oil over feathers is important maintaining the condition of feathers exposed to much water.
