Seabird Challenges

Seabird Challenge No 2 - which Skua is this?

Seabird 2A
  
Seabird2B
     
Seabird2c
  
Sebird2d


Photographs of Skua taken by Grant Penrhyn east of North Cape, New Zealand 2 April 2006.

I noted at the time the bird was quite a rich ochery-brown but this could have been due to the afternoon light (this does not show in the photos). The bird flew across our wake and moved in then chased a couple of black petrels that were following us. CG
