An entangled gannet hangs off a cliff. “No words are needed to tell this gannet’s story - perhaps that’s what makes it so powerful,” says Douglas. “Its story ruptured something inside me when I saw the devastation. The swell was high, the gannet was spiralling around and as the boat moved away and its profile came into view, I captured this shot. My eyes followed the rope, revealing nests full of plastic. I wanted to make the bird’s life count with this image so it didn’t die in vain. Its confronting story and its legacy highlights the impact humans have on wildlife.”
