Essex Red Data List comment
Nationally and locally rare. The recent sighting at South Woodham Ferrers (Essex Field Club Newsletter 35) is thought of as being 'source unknown', possible accidental' - J. Widgery/J.A. Marshall. Four other 10km records all prior to 1961, near Maldon, Colchester, Dovercourt and Southend.
