Observation details

Second record for the Cape Verde, photographed. Seemingly L. m. elegans, as confirmed by Norbert Lefranc (via Martin Brandsma). The bird behaved as it had just arrived, maybe even while I was there as all waders flushed up at one point as the shrike "came in". It was a bit agitated and appeared to be "figuring out" the area and called frequently.
