Bull Island: a short tale of the survival of the
fittest, words and photos by Ger Franck...!Spoiler
Alert! - it doesn't end happily for the Dunlin)
This Dunlin appears to have got oil on its breast feathers as a
result of feeding in polluted mud.
Not in the best
shape, it was soon spotted by a Hooded Crow,
which chased it...
caught it...
and killed it.
