Abstract Three skua specimens with a colouration pattern of the Chilean skua were observed at Potter Peninsula, King George Island, Antarctica. Two of these were breeding birds. However, they showed a pattern of mitochondrial DNA typical for South Polar skua. These birds thus represent hybrids originating from male Chilean skua. The third bird could not be caught. It appeared to be indistinguishable from Chilean skua.
