As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

'Mega rare' blue heron spotted on Isles of Scilly

By WMNAGreenwood | Posted: April 22, 2015

Birdwatchers are flocking to the Isles of Scilly after a twitcher filmed a “mega rare” species of heron, the first time it has been recorded in the UK.

The great blue heron was caught on camera by keen enthusiast Ashley Fisher from a bird hide on a nature reserve. He described the bird as “striking“, with a long heavy bill and maroon patches at the end of its wings.
