TFA blurb review
The northern gannet (Morus bassanus) is the largest seabird species of the gannet family, Sulidae. It is native to the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean. Both sexes are 87 – long with a 170 – wingspan, a mainly white streamlined body and a long neck. The head and nape have a buff tinge that is more prominent in breeding season. The wings are edged with dark brown-black feathers, and the bill is long and pointed. Nesting takes place on both sides of the north Atlantic, mainly on island cliffs; the largest colonies are at Bass Rock, St Kilda and Ailsa Craig in Scotland, Grassholm in Wales, and Bonaventure Island off the coast of Quebec. The northern gannet undertakes seasonal migrations and hunts for the fish that form the bulk of its diet, diving into the sea at high speed. It is still hunted for food in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland and the Faroe Islands, but the species is not threatened.

Pinging Jimfbleak and Casliber; we're doing blurbs for articles promoted at FAC in June, July and August 2018. Thoughts and edits are welcome. - Dank (push to talk) 00:38, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd get rid of " It has been mentioned in several ancient myths and legends." as it sounds nebulous and doesn't add anything. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:29, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
