Montagu’s or Pallid Harrier in Madeira?

Big debate here Montagu’s or Pallid Harrier in Caniçal. Photo variation is getting big we are starting to believe in two birds instead of one.

The Pallid Harrier was firstly recorded by Ralph Hobbs (UK) on Tuesday the 24th of June but there was a bit of doubts on its identification. On Saturday I and a group of UK birdwatchers identified it as a Pallid Harrier. On the last week of April there was a report of this species, also a juvenile, in Porto Santo Island by Riccardo Del Togno from Italy.

There are several comments in Madeira Birding. You can comment here as well.
