This was what all the fuss was about. Top of the fantasy wishlist of every twitcher in Britain, an accessible bird on the mainland was found by a dedicated local birder in the village of Easington a couple of miles North of Spurn Point, hot on the heels of a bird found on Shetland, its first day attracted an estimated 1200 birders. A local farmer set aside a field to accommodate the excess of vehicles and to alleviate congestion in the small village. Police patrols were stepped up and minor roads were closed to vehicles.
The bird spent a week feeding in this clearing taking tiny caterpillars, moving around furtively much like a common or garden Dunnock, oblivious to all the fuss it had created.
