This bird came to the attention of local birders on 30th November but it had apparently been in the area for approximately two weeks.  There is unsubstantiated one report of two being present at one time.  The bird favours a horse paddock although fairly mobile.

Once the news had broken a number of the keen county listers and other birders went to see this bird which is only the third county record.  Click here for details of prior records.
