Ton Mark Tyre Repair is the place to be

This has been a slow season for sightings of migrant birds. The southeast blew for several weeks longer than usual and sightings of rarities have been few and far between. However, a highlight has been the report of an Allen's Gallinule at the marsh opposite Ton Mark Tyre Repair at Northeast Point, Mahe on 4 November. Then on 26 November, Steve Agricole reported a Eurasian Hobby at exactly the same location.

SBRC has accepted 10 previous records of Allen's Gallinule and 34 previous records of Eurasian Hobby
