There were a few skuas around trying to get penguin eggs. The skuas are incredible fliers; the wind that made it very difficult for us to walk just made it easier for them to glide, no flapping of the wings necessary. The penguins did not seem to mind the wind either, though when it was really blowing most of them turned to face it and I would guess that more of them were lying down over their eggs rather than standing over them because of the wind.
