What a cracking little bird. What a great sighting :)
It's a lovely wee bird, and I can't help feeling sorry for it.:(
SO far away from home and with hundreds of strange people approaching with long lenses and scopes...:eek:
If it doesn't have a companion for support, I guess it might not last too long. Would it get its natural food in the quarry - maybe berries, etc.?
I should think it will just stay a while and move in they are very tough little birds :)
