Observation details

PHOTO: MENNO VAN DUIN [ www.birdingnetherlands.com ]. From my blog: "A juvenile Upland Sandpiper (Bartramia longicauda) was still present yesterday, west of Sta.Luzia (Tavira). This is only the 2nd record for continental Portugal of this North American wader. I "ticked" the bird yesterday morning together with 5 other people, which I brought on this little Guided-Tour "special", as a follow-up to the Birdwatching-Festival in Sagres this past weekend. Thanks for sharing this great shot, Menno; to Peter for sharing the information and to Nigel Jackson for finding it ! Other birds in the area were about 65 Audouins Gulls, 5 Slender-billed Gulls, a Black-shouldered Kite, an Osprey and various wader species."
