From the author and illustrator of Terns of Europe and North America, this is an identification guide to the 8 world species of skua (or jaeger), one of the more difficult groups of seabirds. It is designed to enable specis identification and correct ageing, and the information presented is based on years of study in the field, detailed examination of photographs and museum skins, and extensive research of the relevant literature. As with Terns, the book combines detailed colour plates with a photographic section, as well as distribution maps.
