Heard a snippet on the radio so just had a look. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-16510824 Perhaps someone would care to explain any differences between this one and our native Spudgy as I would be interested to know.

A slightly larger bird than a house spuggie, chunkier bill, dark chestnut crown, whiter cheeks, and a black splashed chest, also has a slightly different voice deeper toned, a canny photo here. http://www.birdguides.com/iris/pictures.asp?v=1&f=333327

i think there have been a few records over the years, but i bet some get overlooked.
