EDITORS COMMENTS
Fly like an Arctic Skua, they said. It'll be fun, they said! But who knew these feathered daredevils could pull off such impressive aerial acrobatics? This print captures the sheer grace and agility of an adult pale phase Arctic Skua in flight over the mesmerizing sea surrounding Mousa Island in Scotland's Shetland Islands. With its striking plumage and powerful wingspan, this majestic seabird effortlessly glides through the maritime breeze, showcasing its mastery of the skies. Its keen eyes scan the ocean below for any unsuspecting prey to snatch up with lightning speed – a true predator of the coast! But don't let its intimidating appearance fool you; even as adults, these Skuas have a playful side. Just imagine them engaging in mid-air games or showing off their flying skills to impress potential mates. Who needs roller coasters when you can witness nature's own thrilling ride? From their vulnerable juvenile years to becoming mature adults like this one captured by Kevin Elsby from FLPA Images, Arctic Skuas embody resilience and adaptability amidst challenging subantarctic conditions. They are truly a testament to the wonders of wildlife found along our coasts. So hang this print on your wall and let it transport you to the wild beauty of Mousa Island, where sky meets sea and where every flight is a breathtaking adventure!
