As the Killdeer seems to be on a bit of a grand tour of the UK where do you think it will be found next?........... my money is on Minsmere within the next day or so!

Hopefully somewhere else in East Anglia as I was unable to go for it in the two days it was at Breydon....

If it turns up there in the next few days I'll be cross as I am off to the Lake District on Saturday.

It's primarily a walking holiday, but as the only time I am not birding is when I'm asleep (and even then I'm not sure) it's both

Holland seems to be a logical next step.

I reckon it'll be moving north again, so my bet is Northumberland or Fife...

While I was watching the bird on Tuesday (I do love flexitime...:bounce: ) I heard that there was a Killdeer in Spain in late Jan - is it possible that just one individual accounts for this record, the Hebs, N Ireland and Breydon?

Hi all,
Not sure about the Spanish bird, but there were plumage discrepancies between the birds in Scotland and Northern Ireland, though both were 1st-winter birds.
