This is Our Patch!

This is Our Patch!
A pair of South Polar Skuas Stercorarius maccormicki which have just laid claim to a spot in an Adelie penguin colony, screeching defiance to other skuas circling overhead. With neighbours like these, you have to feel sorry for the penguin in the background! I later showed this to a French biologist, who told me he had banded the nearer skua several years previously and appreciated the information on its location.

So sorry to read that news, Bev, it must be a terribly distressing time. My deepest condolences and I hope some time painting gives the release you're seeking.
