Arctic Skua and Gannets at Lunan Bay

While on a picnic with grandkids at Lunan Bay on 24/7/2015 this Arctic Skua flew in from the south, briefly approached the roosting gulls and terns before they chased it off. The Gannets were feeding successfully offshore at low tide but I'm hopeful of finding some nearer the beach elsewhere for some close action.
