  Hi Paul, this was 2008, the only time I've ever seen this species. Less than 90 observations on waarneming.nl , so it's not very frequently recorded - mostly along the eastern border:

  Hope you'll find one and get better pictures than these (with my first 4Mpx compact camera) :o) Cheers, Arp Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago
