I can almost smell it here from here on the east coast in Suffolk - 225km ENE of me. If smelling isn't enough, check out the pictures from Den Hoorn, Texel.

Better pictures today – now confirmed as a first year bird.
The bird obviously came closer than during the onslaught of happy birders yesterday.

The first October record for Northwestern Europe!

I am waiting for the message 'flew off west'.

I understand it flew south last night! Not reported on Texel (or anywhere else) at the moment.
