Must be the closest twitch ever for me, just 2.4 miles away and a lifer.

Nice bird, probably from a zoo, but nobody claimed responsibility yet, so fingers crossed (349)

(This is just outside Southampton by the way)

Nothing wrong with this bird,Rob! Unringed and showing well in the evening sunshine before it flew a short distance and was re-found in a tree.

I'll be in Petersfield on Thursday for the weekend, hoping it stays around.

It's roosting about half a mile away from the original field, There are a lot of recently cut fields in the area so I think it will stay a day or two..

cheers, alan

That photo is brilliant.

Lewis 20126 I am wondering if you were the 'Alan' that arrived just after me?
