My Mum had one in her garden yesterday. Hopefully they will turn up here in N.Kent and deeper into the country.
There were large numbers at Sissinghurst on Sunday and many flying through, so Sunday was a good day in Kent to see them. Maybe another flush of them will come your way over the next few days - trouble is, I think the wind direction has changed a bit since the weekend so that may have shifted them slightly (only guessing at that though).

Some currently seen at Worthing so they are still coming over by the sounds of it.
