It's nice to have a bit of a personal 'purple patch' where birds seem to follow you around and to have found a couple yourself rather than just seeing other peoples! A sort of 'reward' for all the time put in on these little patches.
As already stated serendipity plays a large part in a lot of these sightings as they don't tend to hang around but for the lucky finders/observers it has added 'grip' value Although even this is a double-edged sword - if it is a rarity and not photographed or picked up elsewhere acceptance could be difficult......
I post a Wiki link to 'serendipity' not in order to explain the meaning but the explanation is illustrated by a bird but there is more in the picture than originally intended.
