Now that was a brutal fight... the skuas can be dangerous. As it stands in a bird book I have:...skuas are birds that have features from both gulls and falcons...

Where's the gull gone?
Superb series of pics - but didn't you ought to have credited the photographer in your post?

Well i do not know who the photographer was even. I have definitely not claimed they were mine. It is just a set I found on www.flickr.com
His photos will have gone up in views, if he checks his flickr stats. If he knows how to use it then he will know that there is a sudden increase in views from birdforum. I assume it is a he because I think i read that on the profile.

When I looked it seemed clear the photographer was a Nigel Pye.
