Hi!
In a follow up to the last Email. Like Alex I
hummed and hawed over the ID of the Jaegers until one of them came close giving
a view of the black cap which extended to a pigtail at the back of the
head,the size compared to the shearwaters was also a big factor for me.
Curiosity, is there any specific books giving IDs of these birds in all
plumages, and with views of the " back" of the young birds, very few guides seem
to do this. There were some birds out there with whitish colourings on rumps and
top of tails,the tails ending with a broad dark band. I was leaning
towards the Skuas on colouring but they were too far out to be sure of anything,
any suggestions?
Cheers
Bob Rusk
