The first confirmed British record of this southern and eastern European species wasn't until 1999. The first record for Norfolk tunred up in the Brecks in July 2014 having previously been seen in Dorset, Hampshire, Sussex and Surrey. It is believed to have remained in Norfolk for several weeks but this was never officially confirmed. Sadly for Norfolk birders news of its presence was not released and all but a select few are yet to see this species in the county. I am aware of at least two previous reports of birds in the county that are highliy likely to have related to this species - one along the Acle Straight in from a well-known and well-respected birder who did not feel he had seen quite enough to consider the record proven and the other from a less well-known but nevertheless competent observer.
