Observation details
Juvenile observed for almost half a day by many county and national birders perched on a garden fence off Springfield Road. A great find by the house owner, subsequently identified by Ian Lewington. Cryptic plumage, with large eyes, tiny bill and fine barring on chest and underparts. Large gape also observed twice as it opened its mouth. When it alighted at 7pm, flew high south towards the Downs. Fast, erratic flight, zig-zagging through the air, with long pointed wings and shallow forked tail.
