Discover the majestic flight of the Bonxie, or Great Skua (Stercorarius skua), in this captivating collection of images. From a color lithograph depicting the Great Skua in flight above a dramatic coastline with sea stacks (DDE-90036215), to the mystery of an unknown artist's rendering of the Bonxie in Shetland, Scotland (The Bonxie, Shetland, 1873), these photographs showcase the power and grace of this impressive seabird. Witness the Bonxie's silhouette against a sunrise sky over Fair Isle (Great Skua silhouetted at sunrise), or observe its territorial display with spread wings (Great Skua - stretching wings before taking off). However, it's important to note that the population of these birds has been declining in recent years due to climate change and the shifting plankton populations in the North Sea (A Great Skua on Handa Island, Scotland). Let these images serve as a reminder of the beauty and fragility of nature, and the importance of protecting these magnificent creatures and their habitats.
