Anniversary of sighting of Wallcreeper! April 2017

Forty years ago today , April 6th 1977, a Wallcreeper was discovered in Ecclesbourne Glen, the rarest bird ever recorded in Hastings Country Park NR, it stayed for 5 days and was seen by many birders. This beautiful and much sought after bird nests above the snow line, eg in the Pyrenees, and the last British record was in 1985. Here is a picture of one I saw in Bhutan recently.
