I’ve been lucky, seen 5 in the south of England in the last 12 years, my first was the Bowling Green bird! Ivory my most wanted, never went for the one out of the box!!

The Corsham bird stayed five days (23rd Feb to 27th 2016) but was then seen at two further locations heading north.

Fabulous find mate, glad it has stuck around, but hopefully not for too long πŸ˜€
