    Details

    continuing bird which I found after other birders said it had been seen earlier that morning. It flew a little way from the east-side near the 'neck' into the main car-park where it stayed out in the open for several minutes allowing good views for many people who I was able to alert to its presence. On my way out I saw it again and got some good photos; life-tick.
