Do you guys on Lewis and on the Uists get a lot of Bonxies attacking you out there?

Probably only see half a dozen bonxies each year here on Uist.
The terns will rip yer heid off though!

I was attacked out at Achiltibuie in early June but I was noising it up right enough.
I suppose I deserved it.

Reason I was asking is that a fried of mine was on Skye last week and came across quite a few great skuas that did not pull their punches! He got some really fine photos of them.

More of a problem for anglers or walkers in the Orkney and Shetland insofar as I have read the warnings. Ones on Handa left us alone.

I was continually dive bombed on Hoy on the walk out to the Old Man. Almost Hitchcockian in their ferocity.
