There were 4 Pec Sands in the county yesterday, 3 at IVNR and one found by Carl C at Kilvington at lunchtime. Needless to say, there wasn't one at Collingham. However, whilst hanging over the gate at Ferry Lane Lake reading messages about the Yellow-breasted Bunting on the Farnes, I heard a familiar screech, and sure enough, there was a Ring-necked Parakeet flying south over the lake. Completely unexpected, and probably a first for the site - certainly a patch tick for me, and another one for the Patchwork Challenge list (now up to 127 species)!
And yes, I would've preferred to find a Pec.
