These birds was seen at Porth low, Scilly in November 2005, Ashley Fisher says;

"Perhaps six birds were involved in the big influx of November 2005 (over 60 were recorded nationally). This footage shows four different birds: two adults (one with the smaller white primary tips thought to be fourth-winter) and two first-winters. All were filmed at Porth Low (Porthloo). Martin Goodey is throwing out the bread and looking cheerful as usual - the birds were too close to photograph!"
