The documentation form by Stephen J. Dinsmore is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Tanya Bray. | Elimination of similar species: The body shape, bahavior, [sic] and plumage identify the bird as a phalarope. Bill shape eliminates other phalaropes, which would be even more unlikely on this date. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:30:00/10:45:00.

It was feeding near the shoreline in dead weeds, mostly on foot, but occasionally in deeper water.
|
The documentation form by Ross Silcock is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. Other observers include Bob Myers and Francis Moore. | Elimination of similar species: Other species we considered (albeit briefly) were: Ruff: eliminated by bill size and shape (thin and straight, rather than fairly heavy and thick-based with a slight droop); also eliminated by phalarope feeding actions. Some far out of range Tringa (eg Wood Sandpiper or juv Redshank): legs relatively short; also phalarope feeding actions.

However, the size, lack of back streaks, lack of dark auricular patch, and long thin bill eliminate Red-necked and Red phalaropes, both of which would be more likely at this date. | The original documentation form event lasted from 14:30:00/15:45:00.
