Arctic Skua - Take II

I blipped a dark-phase Arctic Skua on the beach a few days ago, and this evening at Sumburgh Head was treated to a fantastic aerial display by at least three Arctic Skua around the cliff-tops, including this beautiful pale-phase bird.

These birds move fast, but they were circling round again and again, so you did have at least a fighting chance to get one in shot and in focus.
