Mandag 11. august fant Martin Eggen ei alaskasnipe på Røstlandet. Fuglen ble bestemt til en ung fugl dagen derpå av en rekke observatører. Siden det er sett spillende par i området tidligere i år, kom tankene om et mulig hekkefunn raskt - eventuelt første for Norge. Bildestudier viser likevel at fuglen er en voksen fugl.
On monday 11. August Martin Eggen found a Pectoral Sandpiper on Røstlandet. It was in a pond in the wetlands of Røstlandet, near where the breeding Dunlins usually have their breeding sites. Earlier in the summer John Stenersen had been out to Røstlandet, and he had two adult Pectoral Sandpipers who were displaying and showing signs of breeding. This was in the same area, and was thought to be a juvenile bird by several birders on the second day of its appearance.
Pictures show that it is indeed a adult bird.
