At 10:30 am on Oct 2-2022 James Bradley found a Asian subspecies of Eurasian Skylark (in the pekinensis group) at Sandspit Airport. The bird was foraging in grass at the NW end of the airfield near a juvenile Buff-breasted Sandpiper. Nathan Hentze and Ian Cruickshank also got to view the bird shortly after. The bird was still present as of 4pm and was viewed by other birders.
At 11:30am on Oct 3-2022, Paul Levesque relocated the bird in the same spot. He believes he viewed 2 birds.

The bird was not relocated on Oct 4th, despite multiple observers looking.
