Another look at the Great Skua / Bonxie vs Heron aerial tussle near Ardnave Point in the north of Islay. The Heron almost upside down, fighting off the Great Skua / Bonxie.

Great Skua / Bonxie vs Heron (1), Isle of Islay
Image
During a walk around Ardnave I was given an unexpected show at Ardnave Point: A Great Skua / Bonxie decided to have a go at a Heron. The attack only lasted about a minute and I’m not sure if it was successful, but it was amazing to see.

A view north east from Sanaigmore, some big swell rolling in from the west, from the Atlantic. Waves breaking over the rocky shore between Sanaigmore and Ardnave. On the left Eilean Beag with Nave Island behind. Taken on a nice June evening on Islay.
