Arctic Skua

Pendeen after work gave up this dark phase Arctic Skua, the sea watching bug has finally bitten.
Lots of Manx Shearwater, 3 Balearic Shearwater, 1 Grey Phalarope and 1 Great Skua viewed within 50 meters. I had difficulty in locking onto this Arctic due to its dark phase and falling light. Looking forward to Thursday!

  1. The water looks rough! Nice photos though. Sometimes I can't get a focus on a flying bird when there's too much movement behind it. You did a nice job.
