The Subantarctic Skua Catharacta antarctica has a wide
circumpolar breeding distribution that includes most of the Southern Ocean islands from the Antarctic Continent northwards to the Chatham Islands (Higgins & Davies 1996). The sub-Antarctic islands provide the species with a variety of potential prey captured using a range of feeding techniques i...
