Very rare visitor

During an unusual influx of this species in Britain during the spring of 2012, one was seen over Symonds Green drifting towards Norton Green on 22 May. 

On 7 April 2023 one was at Fairlands Valley Lakes perched on a lamp post and, what was considered to be the same bird was seen circling over the Main Lake on 16 April.

A bird believed to be of captive origin was also seen at Norton Green Tip on 1 April 2018.
