This Skua Gull breeds on the shores of the sea, and 

 those of the larger rivers, as also on barren heaths at 

 some distance inland: many birds build together. The 

 nest is composed of dry grass. 



The eggs are in number two, of a pale olive green 

 colour, with irregular blots of reddish brown.
