James McDonald walked down an empty stretch of beach on the Moray Firth. He was a professional bird watcher but not a twitcher. He kept his gaze firmly on the shingle. It was hard to spot, but he finally found the nest he was after. He transferred the Greenshank eggs to the concealed bottom of his camera case.
Above him a new flyer looked down on the landscape below. It spotted McDonald moving slowly. An easy target. This new world was strange, but some things were the same. Prey and how to catch them. The ancient predator started its dive.
