- Comments: "Seen in company after Geese flew over head, in water front garden, occasionally popping up onto the flowers. Video taken, photo ID against  BOW—short, subtle jumping movements. Notably, its flat head was the first attribute I noticed when becoming visible in the pollinator garden plants. (Seen approximately near by where eBird has the first sighting noted). Sat and waited for about 25 minutes before any fluttering of activity."
