The Great Skua is considered to be a kleptoparasite. That is, a

gannets, which themselves are bold birds that can be quite aggressive.
So one of my goals this year was to capture a skua in the act. I
captured one encounter:

About 2/3 of the area is cropped off so it's a bit soft on the
details, but I think it documents the behaviour quite nicely anyway.
