Two birds were seen at a site in the east of the area on 9th January (AJ). This site held up to four birds in late 2002. A single bird was seen on six dates between 11th January and 5th April at Barden Bridge (PC, MD et al).

Whilst now rare in the area, at least birds reappeared after a blank year in 2004.

There were two records : singles were seen in Strid Wood on 19th April (CS), and at Timble Ings on 30th August (KL et al).
