First for Britain! A slight caution that Empidonax flycatchers, which breed in North America and migrate South for the winter, are notoriously difficult to identify in the field. However, the consensus of the British twitching cognoscenti arriving at this massive rarity event at Dungeness this afternoon was that Acadian Flycatcher, Empidonax virescens, fitted best. It's on my list!
