Brown Skuas and Giant Petrels, Gold Harbour, South Georgia - 28th January 2019
Skuas and giant petrels are predators on the huge king penguin colony here. Both southern and northern giant petrels are shown (distinguished by the bill tip colour). The size of the giant petrel can be judged when seen next to the king penguins.
