Media notes
0650: on E boundary fence.
Observation details
Spotted at 0647, perched on a metal fencepost and then on a nearby barbed wire fence, on the E property fence, ca 300 m N of the start point and 100 m S of the stream. Observed until ca 0650, perching, looking around, and then wiping its bill. Distant, but photos and video confirm seemingly small size compared to NSHR seen this winter in the same area; black mask extending above eye; and small, not notably hooked bill. Lost sight of it around 0650; did not see it fly. No further sightings during the survey, so I suspect it might have been a transient. However, habitat might be suitable for breeding: time will tell.
