HORNED LARK at Staines Reservoir!! - 28.11.17

Horned Lark (honestly!)

A Shorelark found at Staines Reservoir was re-identified as a 1st winter female North American Horned Lark after photos appeared online.Unfortunately it was very distant when I went so a record shot is all I achieved. As I type this 5 months down the line it has been DNA'd as a Horned Lark and so becomes just the 3rd record for the UK. Fingers crossed for a future armchair split tick!
