opmerkingen	10-11 February, Leenderbos, Heeze-Leende, Noord-Brabant, second calendar-year, photographed, videoed (J Kuipers, C Kuipers, E B Ebels et al; Scholten et al 2008, Birding World 21: 60, 2008, 22: 36, 2009, Dutch Birding 30: 68-71, plate 84-92, 409, plate 476, 2008). The third record and the first to be twitchable. Found in the late afternoon, it attracted many observers, especially on the second day of its stay. The bird was successfully hunting mice, storing its prey in tree holes. Considering this behaviour, it was regarded as a surprise that it had disappeared the next day. Annual Report 2008.
