Abstract: In 2013 a record spring passage of Long-tailed Skuas Stercorarius
longicaudus was observed in Scotland, including an unprecedented overland
movement. Tracking data for the species has also hinted at overland migration in
Scotland. Here, the tracking data are reviewed and the spring passage status of
Long-tailed Skuas in the UK assessed, with a particular focus on observed overland
movements, and first-hand accounts of major movements in spring 2013
