Clare Keating Daly has reported a Yellow Wagtail at the airstrip, D'Arros. SBRC has accepted 51 previous records of this species. SBRC attempts to assign race to sightings wherever possible and previous records include flava, beema, feldegg and lutea. The blue-grey head, yellow throat and white supercilium of this bird suggests race flava (Blue-headed Wagtail), which breeds across central Europe to the Urals
This is the first record of Yellow Wagtail for D'Arros. The species has been previously recorded in the Amirantes only from Alphonse.
