Editorial comment:
These numbers of sightings and past records involving at least one of an
adult and a 1w together are clearly speaking of an, at least in most of
the cases, wild origin, thus 'A' category, for these birds and the species
getting into the Spanish (and European) lists. It seems that the only minor
ringed in Spain some years ago at Fuentedepiedra was indeed an escape already
ringed in Germany and it was double ringed (thus carrying two metal rings,
Jordi Clavell/GAE-BirdLife; J.C.Fernández Ordoñez in litt).
But there has not been any other ringing since then. Neither that bird
showed again. Pattern of occurrences match natural vagrancy.No Lesser Flamingos
were noted during a visit to the colony of P.roseus at Delta de
l'Ebre, Tarragona on 20.3 (R.Gutiérrez) neither there had been recent
reports (Carles Domingo pers.com.)
