SLATE-COLOURED JUNCO in East Kent

See photograph on http://www.freewebs.com/folkestonebirds/index.htm

A SLATE-COLOURED JUNCO was in a private garden in Folkestone (Kent) between the 15th and 17th May but has not been seen since. News of its presence was not released widely. This is the second record of this Nearctic passerine in Britain this year, following another garden visitor in Gloucestershire (that individual was present from January to early April)
