I can imagine the interest in this post., my friend Brandon Holden confirmed the ID today as he saw the image on my website., he and I went for a look this afternoon, but it appears the bird has moved on., I am going to go have a look again at dusk tonight, just to be sure.
 
the image I have is on my website, in the recent photos... here

The location is Grimsby, I prefer to not disclose the exact location, as the area where this bird was found is a quiet nature area, and I do not want it overwhelmed with visitors, especially since I am pretty sure the bird has moved on with the strong windy conditions today.
 
Yesterday, with little wind, and a storm brewing most of the day, I am sure the bird was just in for a rest stop, on its way south.  If someone wishes me to make some kind of official report, I could, just let me know.  I was the only one who saw the bird that I know of. I have several other images. I will try to get them processed soon, and posted on the website.
 
If there are any local birders who would like to go for a look tomorrow morning, please email me, and I will do a short guided tour.
 
Thanks for the help today Brandon, see you soon.
 
kind regards to everyone., take good care.
