When arriving at the cabin last weekend, an Arctic Skua was sitting on the roof top. “Oh no”, I thought, “I hope they are not nesting just there!”. Luckily the skua was not and instead it flew away when we came close to the cabin. However, during a hike later on that evening, Bettina and me got scared off by some of his aggressive neighbours. At least the picture is funny.
