First iNaturalist record.

With Graham Armstrong, Pete Ellis, Steve Guy, Guy Langan, Paul Harvey, Phil Heath, Ian Lewis.

Seen for more than an hour after dawn, in a small loose group of Eur. Curlews, feeding in a short-grass field on the south side of the main lake. This was "limpy" - the bird that had been shot about 3 weeks earlier, but seemed to make a recovery.

This location is the last known wintering site for this species. The last record from here was in February 1995.

Here is a link to the last video taken at this site, in January 1995:

We are reposting our observation since my son did not know that he could not post a side by side comparison photo from allaboutbirds.com to help everyone with the identification. That comparison photo was flagged as copyright infringement. So we have removed it and are reposting.

Ring found in long eared owl pellet, reported and saw that it was a blackcap tagged in Hiddensee, Germany as a juvenile in 04/2020. -
Corrected! Got a response back after a while and apparently it was ringed as an adult black redstart, not a blackcap. Mixup in the station's website.
