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.
