This species is not infrequently seen as an escape or released bird but it is often difficult to be sure if an individual is a truly wild bird. In this case the bird was found at a time when good numbers had just arrived on the east and west coasts of the UK. So it is fairly likely to be of wild origin and had somehow become separated from a flock.
The bird was found by David Ferguson and subsequently seen by a number of local birders. It frequented an area of Sedges to the west of the lake at Fulmer and was often seen feeding.
