Got a phone call from Dean Nicholson late this afternoon to say there had been a report on the Bird info services of a Great Skua at Millennium Green this morning, one of the North Hykeham Pits. Re-found the Skua on Teal Lake at Whisby Nature Reserve this evening, and still present when we left. No doubt there will be some photos soon in the album. A good record for the Lincoln area and in any case a first for the Whisby NR/ North Hykeham Pits recording area. Cheers Grahame with Dean Nicholson, Andy Sims, Dave Jenkins and Chris Grimshaw |

Funnily enough we did consider the southern hemisphere skua taxa! However none of us have any/much experience in southern skuas and it just seemed so unrealistic a thought that we soon dropped that idea. Grahame |

Grahame Yellow-nosed errrr unrealistic -- but it does look to have good hackles and primary moult presumably makes it a sub-adult; always worth getting some good images though you never know what information may crop up in future; Recent South Polar Skua ID article in BB |
