@msabirder @brian_minshull @Vaasetter @LeoPyke Unfortunately, not aware of anyone getting photos; BBC video was only evidence. However, I painted the attached shortly after I found it at Coward's Marsh.

Very late Yellow Wagtail by the gate at Cowards Marsh this afternoon, giving food for thought

@wildphotos1 Agreed. I was there in 1957 when Bmth were unlucky to lose 2-1. In the 6th round of the FA cup. Was also there when Bmth won 2-0 in the 3rd Round of the FA cup when 'Arry was just starting.

@LeoPyke @CHOG_birds No one else was willing to take the plunge. It was only up to my knees. No one cared when they knew what was on the other side.!
