Hi Dave,
Yes, we have a birdbatch close by. He could have been in there before.
I agree that the pictures are quite similar, but is it possible for this bird to have flown the some 350 miles from Flamborough to Old Aberdeen in even two days (though I presume it would be shorter if he flew directly across the North Sea)? He was here by around 10am on Friday when I saw him. I guess, though, that these birds apparently do migrate from Central America to the American South, so they would need to fly for relatively long distances across the Gulf of Mexico. Still that seems a very long way. Amazing if he did, though.
Thanks,
Keith
