Bonxies vs Gannet

I was on Hoy again on eaglewatch duties- the last day of my volunteering as it ends this week. I did see a chick fly which was good- only 50m but still. Too far away for shots.
The great skuas (bonxies) bully gannets out of their food and I saw 13 after a single gannet at one point. This gannet had had enough and lunged back- that dagger bill can inflict serious injury.
