Successful hunting activities

Dante and Lauren headed out to World’s End and started observing at 05.00. Lars, Séan, and Søren joined the windy and showery morning around 06.45.

While a small band of bloodthirsty mosquitoes insisted on tasting our blood, Arctic Skuas spend their morning chasing gulls, terns and fellow skuas (Kjove) trying to steal their hard earned prey.

My personal highlight included a flock of 19 Black-legged Kittiwakes (Ride) blending in with 56 Sandwich Terns (Splitterner).

On the dark side of World\s end, a Common Whitethroat aggressively defended its territory by singing its lungs out.
