Shetland Wildlife

Gannets diving for fish of the coast of Shetland.
So many photos to choose from this month after spending 2 weeks on Shetland. The coastal scenery is magnificent but this photo was chosen as it will remind me of the most spectacular bird life experience I’ve had. On a boat around the Isle of Noss off the east coast of Shetland, the captain threw fish into the sea and we were immediately surrounded by several thousand Gannets diving for food with Great Skuas attacking them to try to steal their catch. The photo doesn’t do the spectacle justice.
