Gannet Gannets Noss Shetland Sula Bassana

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by the talented David Tipling, we witness a fierce aerial duel between the mighty Great Skua and its arch-nemesis, the Gannet. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Bressay Island in Shetland during a sunny June day, nature's drama unfolds before our eyes. The Great Skua, Stercorarius skua, known for its formidable size and feisty temperament, takes center stage as it swoops down from above with wings outstretched like a superhero cape. Its piercing gaze locks onto its target – an unsuspecting Gannet soaring gracefully through the air. Meanwhile, Bressay Island stands tall in all its rugged beauty, providing an awe-inspiring setting for this avian showdown. With rolling green hills and dramatic cliffs overlooking crashing waves below, it serves as both witness and stage to this thrilling spectacle. As these two feathered adversaries clash mid-air over Noss - another island in Shetland famous for its seabird colonies - one can almost hear their cries echoing across the vast expanse of sky. It is a battle of survival; a testament to nature's unyielding power and resilience. David Tipling has masterfully captured this momentous encounter that reminds us of the untamed wonders found within our natural world. So let your imagination take flight alongside these magnificent creatures as they dance amidst stunning landscapes – truly an extraordinary sight
