    I'd make that one a Jack Snipe, Lymnocryptes minimus, but probably wrong, as i haven't seen many of this species.

    LOL, it gained that honour partly because it took me so long to get a decent photo of one Pete. I'm also intrigued by the sound of their calls, have on several occasions sat in the van just listening to them.

    I'd say Arctic Skua Stercorarius parasiticus.

    I'M curious why you say it's a raptor 'digdeep'.

    I think an Arctic Skua is much lighter

    Perhaps because it is that the great skua is carnivorous and eats other birds

    Yes Chocky I think that raptor means a bird of prey could be an american word ? They do call a fighter plan Raptor

    The bird was, just like Merlin wrote a :Storlabb Stercorarius skua

    Well done

    Oh well when I looked up 'Storlabb Stercorarius skua' it says Great Skua.

    And when I looked up ' Stercorarius parasiticus' it says Arctic Skua is what Merlin said
