The Arctic Skua breeds on most of the Shetlands, and has several colonies in the Orkneys, while on the mainland it may still be found in Sutherland and Caithness; it also nests at a few spots in the Outer Hebrides, and sparingly on two or th

Owing to this peculiarity the bird may be absent from large tracts of country which afford no swamps or marshes suitable for nesting. It usually breeds in large colonies, though single families, consisting of a male and several females, may sometimes be found in a small slough, where each female builds her nest and rears her own little brood, while her liege lord displays his brilliant colors and struts In th
