Sea Watch At Pendeen

 Sabine's Gull  Larus sabini,  above



 I did a sea watch today at Pendeen, the three hour morning session without the camera produced some superb views of seabirds, Sabine's were prominent with a couple of Leach's Petrel outside the rocks, I also had Sooty Shearwater, Balearic Shearwater Pomarine Skua, ArcticSkua, Great Skua, Grey Phalerope and a possible juv Longtail Skua.. The images were captured during the afternoon.
 Arctic Skua Stercorarius parasiticus ( Pale Morph)
 Arctic Skua pale morph and dark morph
 Great Skua Stercorarius skua  ( Bonxie)
