SBG002: Scaring a fulmar

During one of my research cruises we passed a group of gannets and fulmars that were flying along with the ship, landing for a while then catching up again. For some reason whenever the gannets were coming back to land, they would always target the fulmars as landing patches forcing the fulmars out the way! This was taken during a research cruise to the northeast Atlantic Ocean, along the Rockall bank.
