The first record of Brown Skua Catharacta antarctica in Europe
Evidence from mtDNA suggests that two skuas, one discovered in the Scilly Islands Cornwall in October 2001, the other in Glamorgan in February 2002, belong to the Brown Skua group Catharacta antarctica – a species not previously recorded in the North Atlantic. These molecular data do not exclude the...
