Sorry to go off on a complete tangent, but I believe the Sacred Ibis in Norfolk is now tickable. This always puzzles me with birds that 'become' tickable, but why wasn't it tickable before and why is it now?

Regards, Chris | Presumably the BOU have just decided it is a genuine vagrant rather than an escape? Cheers

Cheers | Apparently there's a huge feral population (1000+) on the Atlantic French coast- there was a long piece on it last year in Birding World- so is most likely from that, so probably not much different to ticking a Ring-necked Parakeet or Mandarin! |

I just wonder what evidence they based that decision on.
