There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Young Great black backed gull chasing off almost adult female goshawk. I've been lucky enough to witnessing fights between these two spicies myself!

This gull is just an amazing bird here it's trying to take down a large canada goose gosling, incerdible fotage, also notice in The first video how some of the adults are fleeing whle those adults trying to attack not even affects The massive gull. I've seen it take down adult eiders myself before and it's pure power houses.

Great black backed gull feeding chick with a puffin. In The end it chases a raven. 




Second video: ravens are though and this show's what this gull is about when it's defending a sheep carcass against half a dusin

Great skua: a big bird 50-58 cm long and has a wingspann of about 145 cm. And weigh's 1-1,8 kg. 
It usually lives on fish, taken from The sea, fishing boat's or from other birds such as gannests, commorants, gulls, puffins and many more. But will also kill smaller birds and even some records of it killing gannets.

Great skua vs Grate black backed gull: these birds are The two most dominant birds on the open sea, and therfore will have fierce competition between them. 
my own personal experience with these two birds are that The gull is dominat on land and sea, but in flight The skua has The upperhand. The skua is such an amazing bird in flight, and with a bad temper it's no laughing matter, I've heard storries from falconares telling storries about when hunting with both read tail hawks, gyrfalcons and goshawks in arias where the skua was, the skua would catch up with the raptors bring The down and beat them up so badly that The birds refused to hunt in that aria again. 

Some fighting pictures between The two spicies.
