Very rare visitor

An increasing visitor to Britain from the continent, that has bred. The first one seen in Hertfordshire was at Wilstone Reservoir, Tring on 28 April 2001.

Four records: two flying over a Great Ashby Garden on 19 June 2020, one flying over an Old Town Garden on 20 November 2022, single birds flying over Fairlands Valley Lakes on 3 December 2023 and one flying over Fairlands Farmhouse on 1 September 2024.
