4th December 2006 at Lugar de Baixo pond

A very rare vagrant from North America has stopped in Lugar de Baixo pond to rest and feed. This is the first record for Portugal of a Sora (Porzana carolina). It was seen by Catarina Fagundes and Hugo Romano at mid-day.

Also at Lugar de Baixo, Ponta do Sol, for a month already, there is a Teal (Anas crecca), a Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos) and a Spotted Sandpiper (Actitis macularia)

Nice birdwatching for Madeira!
