opmerkingen photographed, videoed (Dutch Birding 44: 69, plate 87-88, 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.
