Could well be still there I went down on the 10th Sept and a guy I met said it came in with the Canadas pretty regular.
Remember the Ruddy Shelduck a few years ago? same thing happened with that tagging on with the Canadas, I saw it at Neumans and at Moore a few weeks later probably with the same flock.
