My wife is reading the book �The Black House� by Peter May. In it there is a lengthy description of harvesting Gannet chicks in Scotland. We checked to see if this hunt actually happens and it does. If you are interested, check out this web site:

Please ... I am just passing on a fascinating article about birds, albeit a bit �unusual.� Comments are not necessary.
