Was the Firecrest reported on 1st Jan from the same area as the map on pg.238 of this thread (thanks to those who provided the map and directions)?
All being well, I'm hoping to have a couple of hours round the Valley tomorrow morning, first chance since the Firecrest was reported weeks back and likely to be the last chance I'll get until mid-Feb, so it'd be good to be able to get myself to the most likely spot.
