Brief description
This dataset contains:1) count data from a series of surveys of brown skua nest numbers and breeding success conducted from 2008/09 to 2017/18;
2) historic skua nest count data and concurrent estimates of rabbit abundance (1974/75 to 2009/10);
3) stable isotope data from feather samples taken from skua chicks during the 2017/18 season to compare stable isotope ratios between different feather types;
4) stable isotope data from feather samples taken from skua chicks from 2008/09 to 2017/18;
5) a small dataset of stable isotope data from skua prey tissue samples;
6) the nest locations of skuas surveyed in the seasons 2009/10, 2012/13 and 2017/18.
