Last year we had an odd observation concerning a Greater Sand Plover. This marked individual had completely normal plumage when it was captured and marked in 2012 during its second year of life, but over the period of mid-November 2016 until December 29th 2016 its plumage changed dramatically. MORE

In the Northern Hemisphere, we celebrate March as the month that comes in like a lion–especially in my neck of the woods–and goes out like a lamb. Birdingwise, that sequence works in reverse. MORE
