Observation details
Large adult pomarine skua. Observed close to ferry and as it moved away into the wind. Winds at 30+ kts were easily negotiated by the bird. Solid and steady flight not blown about at all. Long dark wings with double flash on the underwings at base of primaries visible close and a little in one photo. Large dark complete chest band. Chest and belly very white except for band. Tail still with visible thick tail feathers. Heavy barrel chest and wide base to wings.
