The Great Skua is known as "The pirate of the seas" and I have fallen foul of their sharp 'bill-hook' beaks in the past; so can you imagine how thrilling it was to have one of these birds hover in front of me and gently take a piece of fish from my fingers whilst on the rocks sea fishing last week?! Alas, I couldn't hold fish and camera together, so sadly, there is no photo :(

 

Here's a photo of one that I took on Handa Island in the far north west of Scotland, a few weeks ago. They are the size of a large gull:
