Great Skua

• It is a professional pirate: it chases a gannet far larger than itself, grabs it by the wing or the tail and harries it until it regurgitates its fish, which the skua then catches in mid-air.
• It dive-bombs anyone who approaches its nest, human beings included, and in Iceland and Scotland walkers are advised to hold a stick above their head during the breeding season.
