Here's a heavily edited version of an " account" about a rare bird .... Range. Breeds from eastern Canada and north-eastern USA, west to British Columbia and Colorado. It winters in northern South America. Occurrences. There are three British records : a first-winter trapped at Porthgwarra on 6th October 1970; another first-winter trapped on Lundy, Devon, from 10th October to 11th November 1987; and an individual on North Uist, Western Isles, on 20-28 October 1995. Towards the end of its stay the Lundy bird became readily visible at the top of Millcombe Valley, enabling crowds of birders to visit the island and see it. Identification. It has a distinctive, slightly mournful "wi-er" or "quier" call, which allows easy detection. ( It doesn't matter if you don't know ... there's no pressure ) There you are then ....... straight on to the music ..
