August 31: The first skua of spring
This Great Skua Stercorarius skua lonnbergi was nestled in behind one of the 'beach balls' at Bauer Bay. It is the first Skua that I have seen since they disappeared from the Island over winter. Soon the elephant seals will be giving birth to their pups, and the Skuas will be here on mass to take advantage of a ready food source.
