Bonxie v Baakie

Bonxie v Baakie. Who do you think will win the epic battle of the fish? It’s Great Skua v Great Black-Backed Gull in the Atlantic today. I’m taking photographs low down on a pitching and rolling boat, through the gap where the creels are deployed.

And the winner?

It wasn’t the fish.

It was the Bonxie, one of the most fearless birds I’ve ever encountered.

I’ve still got 1,000 photographs to view. What an epic, primal, experience.
