| Re: Can you identify this bird?
As a follow on to this. Kim & I PM'd each other and I followed it through by asking a few Norfolk contacts if they had heard of this bird. They hadn't. My next call was to Rare Bird Alert but they hadn't heard about it either. I asked Kim for permission to send the photo to RBA, which she agreed, and a message was put out on the pager service last night regarding this bird. At 15:40 this afternoon the first report went onto the pager that the bird had been seen, as well as a Yellow Browed Warbler, at this site.
Apparently Kim had been in touch with the RSPB who knew all about this bird. Strange that they knew yet the local top birders knew nothing.
It is a definite escapee but is well worth going to see if you are in that area. I know I will try and find it when I am on my weeks holiday next week. If I do find it, and get a photo, I will post it on this thread. |
