Probable		First seen at 6am and then again at 8am but not since. Last seen to land on the tower and not seen to leave so may still be present. Very brief views. Apart from the slender black bill visible in the photo it had long tail streamers and was smaller than Commons (per Mike McKee). Despite the brief views and the rarity value we felt the news has to go out before better views can be got. Key holders only.
