Just a quick midday update because I know that there are a number of people waiting for news…

CITRINE WAGTAIL – as of right now, there has still not been any sign of this popular bird at Cape Recife yet this morning. There were apparently around a dozen people out searching for it at all the regular spots this morning, but numbers have dwindled now and there are only about 4 die-hards left continuing with the search. The WESTERN YELLOW WAGTAIL is still around though this morning – reported by Mike Simms.

More news, hopefully positive, as and when I receive it.

Kind regards
Trevor
