Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Brown, any bird with brown in its plumage Lifer yesterday on a seabird trip: a juvenile Long-tailed Skua (Kleinste Jager). #birds #birdphotography #vogelfotografie #natuurfotografie #natuur #SonyAlpha #EastCoastKin

A juvenile Long-tailed Skua (Stercorarius longicaudus) in flight over open water, seen from above and slightly behind against a smooth pale blue sky. The bird glides diagonally through the frame with its long, narrow wings fully spread. Its plumage is brown with fine pale barring and speckling on the wings and back, and the dark outer primaries show thin white shaft streaks. The head is turned toward the camera and shows a pale buff face with a lighter collar. The short, pointed tail is dark with a white barred base. Soft daylight lights the bird evenly.
