Another Black Headed Bunting? Now that's greedy! Some good pics on twitter.
Maybe they have come from the same aviary?

Yes, along with the female on Helgoland yesterday.
On a serious note, it seems the B.B. Albatross has been hanging around the aforementioned island all day, only c260 miles away & with favourable winds.....
AND my brains – we all saw it together, not crying now!!! It was Ashley that actually re-found it though, THANK YOU! Very happy bunny:t: Just home at 10.30pm. Bird last seen going into garden opposite at 8.40pm. Drenched, boots filled with water, pager not working either! Always look back where the bird was first seen/found, pays off most of the time:-O.....
After an hour some good birding brains (AKA banwell & gregory) thought it would be a good idea to check where the bird had been seen earlier and low behold there it was !!

Thank you to Ian Prentice who found this awesome bird and making my evening!!!
Does anybody keep BH Buntings nearby?
You could be on to something there, I only noticed this shop in town for the first time today

That was a proper twitch
I think what Stuart means is, the excitement of going to see a very rare bird, putting it simply.Having been to see the Bunting this morning, it's interesting that you say it was a "Proper Twitch" last night - The behaviour of those who "re-found" the bird last night was being discussed at length this morning, most people present were amazed that the bird was still around this morning after the actions of those the night before... but then it's all about seeing the bird and sod anyone else, right? :t:
