Observation details

*early: Expected to arrive around now in small numbers, and our first of the season! All dark morphs, and 2 were conclusively adults. Snappy wingbeats (in comparison to GOEA), contrasting light flight feathers, bulging secondaries, and white mottling on chest against otherwise black body.
