Carlos Ferrari, Silvia Vitale, Simón Tagtachian and Diego Monteleone among others managed to identify three individuals using a telescope. As Silvia says what pretends to be a photo of the skua was taken at a distance of 700 mts.
Carlos says: "There is no doubt of what we saw. In the photo we can see a posture typical of a skua in flight and also a buff glimpse which could be seen at times depending on the angle. The skua is bigger in size and more robust than the Grey-hooded Gull. The white spots on the primaries could also be appreciated.
