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 

 tog-ether. The nest is composed of dry grass. The 

 old birds are very daring in defence of their young. 

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

 green colour, with irregular blots of reddish-brown.
