SOUTH POLAR SKUA Stercorarius maccormicki

PREVIOUS

Previously known as McCormick's Skua, it occurs in two colour phases plus intermediates, dark phase birds being quite similar to others of the genus. Although claimed in UK waters, only a classic pale-phase, or DNA evidence, will get it onto the British List, although they occur quite frequently off North America.
