Found this in the great Stack area of Handa island, looks like some kind of owl pellet!!

Any ideas?

I googled both the grea t skua and w.t.e but they are both very similar. I suppose you would have to examine it a bit further to see what was in it? There were plenty of great skuas about and a eagle had been seen the day before!
It was located at the first view point over looking the cliffs after you walk across the moor!
