The return of the skuas!

The first breeding pairs of Tristan skuas have returned to Gough Island and are starting to defend their breeding territories. Several birds wearing GeoJourneys geolocators have already been spotted! The team on Gough will wait until the eggs have been laid before attempting to retrieve the tracking devices and the valuable data that they hold!
