Keep looking, they stay around if recent UK records are anything to go by! I'll pass the info to Charlie and Roy who also go there quite a bit.

I run a Tree Sparrow feeding station on a farm nearby,and during the week whilst chatting to the farmer he mentioned an unusual bird that spent a few weeks in the garden at the farm late last winter.He described the bird as a thrush,as big as or slightly bigger than a Blackbird but smaller than a Mistle Thrush,it had a striking reddishy breast!! I made sure he wasn't getting confused with a Redwing,but he was certain it wasn't one,as he is familiar with with them.When I called down today I took my American field guide with me, and you've guessed it he immediately picked out Yankee Robin as the bird he had seen!!Although its not 100% certain he's correct I feel pretty sure he's got the i.d. right as ther's not realy any other bird that fits the description.Definitely one that got away.cry.gif
