Observasjonsdetaljer
12:42 PM, very distant. Motoring low to the water in strong, direct flight, angling away from the boat. Seen while we were amidst Dovekies everywhere, which were occupying most of the attention from everybody aboard. Essentially no chance to pursue it, as we were almost stopped, and wouldn't have had remotely the speed needed to chase down this bird that already had a huge head start. Most likely a Great Skua, but unfortunately it was too far away and didn't seem to even think about changing course towards the boat. 3 terrible photos for documentation purposes:
