AWT launches funding appeal for Gannet Cam

We've been captivated by puffin cam... now get ready for gannet cam.

With Alderney the breeding place of choice for 8,000 gannets every year - two per cent of the world's population - Alderney Wildlife Trust wants to catch all the action on camera.

It would mean that Alderney was the first place in the UK to livestream footage of a gannet colony onto the internet.

But in order to get the camera installed before the gannets arrive - usually in March - AWT needs to find £2,000 either in sponsorship or as a donation. They have already bought the camera with a £4,000 donation and the £2,000 would pay for its installation. And it's not just the gannets' arrival that AWT is in a race against time with - it's other wildlife organisations in Britain too. At present the RSPB site in Bempton. North Yorkshire and the Scottish Seabird Centre at Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth, both attempting to live stream footage of their gannet colonies. Currently the closest place that livestreams footage of a gannet colony is Iceland.
