Small Pratincoles - Red River Island

Hi all,

Nice surprise this morning at the northern tip of the Red River Island with 2 Small Pratincoles trying to find a quiet place to rest between the wedding couples posing for photos.

One with greyish streaky-throat...
The other one still in breeding plumage

  1. Congratulation Sebastien! I guess that's a first record (unless someone knows about other sightings?)
    I went there again this morning, but didn't find them.

  2. Thanks Florian, but I'm just a lucky boy who were at he good place at the good instant.
    I'm sorry you didn't find them. But it was also an occasion to spot beautiful local birds in full nuptial plumage ;-), so no regrets.
