A group of ringers heads to a remote island of the coast of Scotland to monitor seabirds, primarily Storm Petrels and Great Skua, or 'Bonxie' as they are known colloquially.
Camping on the islands, it is difficult to be far from a Bonxie as they keep watchful eye on the ornithologists. In return, it is difficult to not get great views of these stunning birds... Perhaps a little too close if you are unwary and stray too close!
