| Comments : | Initially seen in flight, calling, at c5pm over the sluice gates. Picked up again in rapidly fading light (20:40) at the East End. Apparently a different bird to that at Tacumshin on 20-22th July, this bird has moulted few of its inner wing coverts retaining older, heavily patterned summer coverts. The July bird retained much older, plain and heavily worn inner wing coverts. | ||||||||||||||||||
