A Brown (Falkland) Skua on its nest with its chick in a howling wind. Brown Skuas (Stercorarius a. antarctica) are always present at penguin and cormorant rookeries, waiting for an opportunity to steal and egg or a chick. Brown Skuas (or Falkland) in the Falkland Islands were breeding in early January at the height of the austral summer – their nests were on the ground amongst grass or Diddle-dee, an endemic Falkland shrub. The Skuas were nesting close to a large Imperial Cormorant rookery that provided a convenient source of food. This adult on the nest and its chick were being buffeted by the strong winds typical of a Falklands summer. Elevation: 16 m. Date added to IBC: February 7, 2019.
