Abstract
Three nestlings of Spoonbill ringed in spring 2016 in the Camargue were resighted on 30 November 2016 in the Bahr El Ghazal province in South Sudan located at some 4 500 km to the south-east of their birthplace. This wintering site is rather unexpected. Although Sudan (at least its northern part) is known since a long time to be reached by a few birds breeding in southeastern Europe (Hungary), the southernmost part (now belonging to South Sudan) may also belong to the species’ wintering area.
