EDITORS COMMENTS
Avast, ye landlubbers! Behold the fearsome Bonxie of the Northern Isles, ruler of the high seas and master of the skies! With its sharp beak and piercing gaze, this Great Skua is a true pirate of the Atlantic. Ready to swoop down on unsuspecting prey along Europe's central coast, it strikes fear into the hearts of all who dare cross its path. Captured in stunning detail by Martin Zwick at Hermaness Bird Reserve in Unst, Scotland, this portrait showcases the majestic beauty and predatory nature of these incredible birds. Against a backdrop of heatherland and moorland, this Bonxie stands tall as a symbol of power and resilience. As it surveys its domain over the North Sea, one can't help but marvel at its ability to thrive in such harsh conditions. The Shetland Islands archipelago serves as an ideal home for these feathered predators during springtime. So raise your eyepatch and salute this noble creature from afar. Let us admire its strength and cunning while keeping our distance from its formidable presence. For in the realm where land meets sea, there is no doubt that this Great Skua reigns supreme.
