Definitely in need of a review in term of numbers it seems probable that the 1990-1992 records involve the same bird, and that only two were involved in the sightings from Belasis Technology Park from 2002-2005; one of which could conceivably be the bird from Stockton in 2001. This would make the total a more realistic eight.
