Its an amazing looking bird, a rare bird here from North America, if you do a google search for the species you'll find some wonderful pictures. |
I was staying not that far from there but decided not to go for it. I thought it might disappear and that is what it has appeared to have done. It was a 1st summer female that had crashed into a window then was taken intio care for a day. Apparently, so i heard, it had been feeding on a garden table for a while before it went into the window.
Here are some links into what the bird may have looked like.
