Get orf my land! (Aptenodytes patgonicus, Catharacta lonnbergi)

I took this on the beach in Fortuna Bay, South Georgia. The 3 king penguins spent some time pursuing the skua around the beach, obviously unhappy with its presence. Every now and then it would turn round and stand its ground, before slowing giving way again. In the end it just flew off in disgust and the penguins wandered off back to the sea.
