Field Notes

Description:

In hindsight, once I had spotted these, I realised I had probably seen but dismissed several individuals as shed feather down or guano stains. Once I looked more closely, there were several individuals scattered over a fairly small area.

I might have done the same: they do look very much like feathers. Nice find.
