The Skua, Antarctica

The Brown & South Polar Skuas, birds that a lot of people love to hate, mainly because their diet includes baby penguins (caution viewers!). However surviving in Antarctica is never easy, they're incredible birds and most definately deserve a shout-out.

Here's a three-minute montage of these fascinating birds loitering around penguin colonies on the Antarctic Peninsula over the summer months.
