Parasitic jaeger : ウィキペディア英語版 | Parasitic jaeger
The parasitic jaeger (''Stercorarius parasiticus''), also known as the Arctic skua or parasitic skua, is a seabird in the skua family Stercorariidae. ==Breeding==
This species breeds in the north of Eurasia and North America, with significant populations as far south as northern Scotland. It nests on dry tundra, higher fells and islands, laying up to four olive-brown eggs. It is usually silent except for mewing and wailing notes while on the breeding grounds. Like other skuas, it will fly at the head of a human or fox approaching its nest. Although it cannot inflict serious damage, it is a frightening and painful experience. It is a migrant, wintering at sea in the tropics and southern oceans. In the British Isles, they breed in Shetland and Orkney, the Outer Hebrides, Sutherland, Caithness, and some islands in Argyll.
