Alpine Accentor in Bucks!!

 Moss expert Jamie Warren found this Buckinghamshire first record while looking for moss.  A good number of birders made their way over and I dare say that well over 100 will have seen the bird one this first day.  No doubt a lot more people will visit if it stays overnight.  This is probably the rarest bird ever to be found in the county!  


The bird was feeding on a steep bank and ignored the watching 40 or so birders.


No doubt the rocky terrain made the bird feel somewhat at home!
