In looking for everything else that was important to look for today these Starlings ( Sterna vulgaris )were quite spectacular. Also Red Breasted Goose Todd's Canada Goose Taiga Bean Geese WhiteFronted Goose and thousands of Pinkfeet Just amazing.

Beautiful squat little things but sadly the Latin name comes from

Sgatorola - a Venetian name for some kind of Plover (according to Wikipedia)

But a search for Sgatoral garnered zilch.
