opmerkingen photographed, videoed ( Dutch Birding 44: 68, plate 85-86, 157, plate 201, 2022). With this species spreading northward fairly rapidly from its historical range in south-western Europe, with for instance a newly established population of 70 adults in La Dombes, Ain, France, only c 600 km from the Netherlands in 2021 (Anonymous 2021), it was expected to be added to the Dutch list sooner rather than later. The biggest surprise, however, was that two were found within a week’s time. In November and December 2021, birds were also seen in the north-west of France and in Belgium, which suggests a small influx in north-western Europe. Annual Report 2022: One of the highlights of 2021 stayed for half a year. During its stay, it was seen almost daily and showed very well most of the time.
