It's time to unveil the winner of our Village Wild monthly video contest for the fall!
Thank you to all of our readers who submitted their own personal videos or video links over the past few months, the response has been wild (no pun intended).
We're excited to announce that this month's winner—who was selected at random—is Naveen N.
The video captured by Naveen was taken during a visit to Île Bonaventure Island in Quebec. It was during this trip that Naveen witnessed an incredible sight: thousands of Gannet birds hatching their young. These remarkable birds migrate from the Gulf of Mexico and Florida to Île Bonaventure each year.
According to Naveen, around 70,000 Gannets make this journey annually to breed and raise their chicks in the safety of the island. By the end of the breeding season, the population swells, with approximately 105,000 birds embarking on their return journey. This phenomenon highlights the resilience and instinctual behaviour of these remarkable seabirds.
"I am very happy that I was able to capture these spectacular birds with my phone and share it with Village Media," added Naveen.
Thank you again to everyone who has submitted their videos!
