A very nice find Dave - and good to see you again today. Good to also meet up with Steve for the first time. Does anyone know if the previous two sightings were aged? This could be the first adult seen there. Roy |

The 29th August 1989 bird was ringed by Gordon Priestley and aged as an adult female. An interesting bird to find in a mist net in the dark.....as far as i am aware this bird wasn't seen in the field?  Knowing Gordon quite well, I can guess what he said!! I have no details on the bird in 1964..... Andrew |
