| Two adult males with prominent cheek patches photographed on separate trees at the same time on 26 Feb. Twitchers the next morning found an adult male roosting in a tree shortly before the flock took off. Those trying in the evening found what was likely to be the same bird and another individual, probably an immature male which had fainter cheek patches and clear grey flanks. The immature male was last seen on 5 Mar. The original observer later found that he had photographed an adult male two days before the original sighting on 24 Feb. |
