Record-breaking Cape Gannets at Bird Island in Lambert’s Bay 🤩

The incredible Cape Gannet colony on Bird Island has grown to over 45,000 individuals—its highest population level in 19 years! Thanks to daily monitoring, proactive conservation, and careful management, Bird Island is one of Southern Africa’s most successfully conserved Gannet colony. 💚

Gannets are flocking here not just for breeding but because of ideal conditions, protection from threats, and a thriving marine ecosystem. The conservation team at Bird Island deserves a massive shout-out for making this possible! Bird Island is proof that hands-on conservation works! 🌍
