A witness sends us a photograph on which the presence of an object is noted that the witness did not see when the photograph was taken. No precise date is given by the witness (the witness mentioning a weekend in September 2009). A posteriori photo analysis, not involving direct observation, is often complicated. The unidentified object in photo 100_0726 appears to be a bird, of which the underside of the dark wings can be perceived, in shadow.
