Arctic Skuas - Parrett Estuary

8-Apr-14
Huntspill Seawall: 2 adult Arctic Skuas (a dark-phase and a presumed intermediate pale-phase, as only white on belly not neck/throat) flew south towards us, passing Burnham sea-front, at 13:55 and then flew inland in a big arc towards East Huntspill Church, before coming out of the Parrett Estuary at 14:10 and landing on the sea off Steart Point. After 2 or 3 mins they rose up and disappeared out into Bridgwater Bay.
