opmerkingen photographed, videoed (Pynaerts & Ebels 2022; Dutch Birding 44: 430-437, plate 618-624, 2022). The variation between Black Guillemot subspecies is complex and clinal (Butler et al 2020). This sighting had long been known as being a probable Mandt’s Black Guillemot but the identification was never settled due to a lack of good identification references. A thorough study by the British Ornithologists’ Union Records Committee (McInerny & McGowan 2021) shed some light on the subject and opened the door for this first.
