Newgale - Long Tail Skua

Walking along Newgale beach a day or so back, a bit of avian aerobatics to the north caught my eye,  a darker bird was harrying a herring gull, as they came closer the bird resolved to a Long Tailed Skua, it harassed a few other gulls and eventually disappeared to the south. First time I have seen one this early and not at Strumble head through a scope!
