    Hi,
    came across these 2 birds yesterday,I think one is a Skua- fairly aggressive and not afraid of Black backed gulls when we were throwing out guts of fish.The other one a 'little gull' ???-after looking at a few books.
    Any ideas???

    The skua is a Great Skua. The small gull is a juvenile/first winter Kittiwake. Note the "W" pattern on the upperparts.

    As Fergal said the first is a Great Skua or Bonxie as they are sometimes called. And the second is a kittiwake as pointed out. Another good pointer for the kittiwake is the black legs....
