Great Skua
We found a large area with many Great Skua's. Due to the cold spring, they were not nesting but started protecting their territories.

Canon EOS1DM2/5.6-400/handheld/ISO 200/FF

I too agree with the head business but a nice shot of a bird I've not had the opportunity to view let alone photograph. Lighting look harsh as well Rene and a good job done
