An adult female present for just one afternoon. This record is similar to the last occurrence in the area, a juvenile at Ferry Meadows from 15 to 21 August 1999. Although this species averages about 8 birds annually in Cambridgeshire most of these occur at Grafham Water and the species remains a very rare passage migrant in the PBC area.
