Longevity record of arctic skua (Stercorarius parasiticus)
The arctic skua ( Stercorarius parasiticus ) is one of the most long-lived bird species. In 2010, we captured in Finland an adult, female arctic skua which had been ringed as a nestling in 1987. We tagged it also with a color ring. The bird has last been seen in July 2020 at the age of 33 years, mak...
