| Resumo: | [eng] First sighting of Long-billed dowitcher, Limnodromus scolopaceus, in the Balearic Islands. On the 9th October 2002 an immature Longbilled dowitcher was observed at a pool on the Es Ras section of Parc Natural de s'Albufera de Mallorca. It remained until 30 October 2002 and during this period it was seen and photographed by several observers. This is a vagrant species which breeds in the Siberian tundra region, in western and northern Alaska and the extreme north-west of Canada. Its appearance in Mallorca co-incided with 10 other sightings in Europe, scattered through Great Britain, Ireland, Norway, France, Belgium and Spain. This record is the first for the Balearics and is awaiting acceptance by the Spanish Rare Birds Committee, SEO. |
