Sometimes I daren’t post pics of Skuas because I’m terrible at identifying them (but I’m sure you’re right about these)_Reply
Yesterday’s rainstorm was biblical in proportion, apparently the most rain in a day in Hakodate since records began!Reply

Know what you mean, I think the pointy tails made it relatively painless to ID this time.
Dark weather preceding very heavy rain in Hakodate – will this bring in any interesting birds?
