      1938 'locally abundant' (AG.Peyton). 20-30 at Denge Marsh on 4th July (AMS) and 3 on 6th June 1950
      (ECP-Clinton). 30th June to 3rd July 1954 (RF.Bretherton). 28th July 1956 (WL.Rudland). 7th and 8th

      (RE.Scott).
       Since then has been recorded on six dates, Lydd 31st May and Dungeness on 9th June 92. 
       Lydd on 4th, Lydd-on-sea 6th and at two traps at Dungeness on 7th June 93.

       It is doubtful that it still breeds.
