Predation Account
Unusual behaviour by St Kilda's Skuas was recorded in 2007 during research into recent falls in the Leach's Storm Petrel population. Using night vision gear, ecologists observed the skuas preying on the petrels at night, a remarkable strategy for a seabird.

Famous quotes containing the word account:
“That man is good who does good to others; if he suffers on account of the good he does, he is very good; if he suffers at the hands of those to whom he has done good, then his goodness is so great that it could be enhanced only by greater sufferings; and if he should die at their hands, his virtue can go no further: it is heroic, it is perfect.”
—Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)
