Fox Sparrow (Passerella iliaca) / Tarvo Valker
More than a week ago, an extremely rare vagrant Fox Sparrow was found in Estonia, just one hour drive from our capital, Tallinn. So far, nearly 100 twitchers from Estonia, Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, UK and Belgium have been fortunate enough come over and see this bird. The bird is still present and many birdwatchers think that it could easily stay here for several more weeks, meaning that there will be a very good chance for everybody to come to Estonia to twitch this stunning passerine.
The normal distribution range of the Fox Sparrow is in North-America, while in Europe there have only been 2 previous confirmed records of this extremely rare vagrant. The last time this bird was recorded in Europe was 51 years ago! Obviously nobody knows how long the bird will stay.
The Fox Sparrow became the 386th bird species recorded in Estonia.
