Great Skua sounds

Great skuas and bonxies deliver single sharp cries, low growls at the nest, bursts of screams during raids and extended colonial hums layered with wind or surf. Several recordings focus on chicks hatching or calling from the nest, a detail the category name does not reveal. Lengths run from three-second one-shots to nearly half-minute beds that capture ongoing colony activity rather than isolated calls.
