Hi everyone,
I took pictures of 2 jaegers yesterday (07/09/2022) at Cabo Raso, on the west coast of Portugal near Lisbon, flying ~200-300 m off the coast. One is an entirely dark blackish-brown bird (first 4 photos) whereas the other is slightly paler on the underside of wings and has a white belly (2 last photos). After looking at many online photos and bird guides I am still guessing if these are S. pomarinus or S. parasiticus.
These were the best photos I was able to take.
Thanks a lot for your comments. Best regards,
Luís
