Well Carl,
There is limited information in the article. Was the bird only viewed
by 80 twitchers over a three-day period [a rather low number for a
rarite in the UK] or were there up to 80 twitchers at a time honing in
on the bird? How close were the twitchers getting to the bird? Were
they entering people's yards to get close to it?
You might certainly get an interesting scenario where a bird with a
territorial call turned up in an area of limited visibility and
several twitchers independently visiting the site started to play call
recordings at the same time.
Regards, Laurie.

There is a down side to all-and-sundry knowing about a vagrant

Not that I am saying that any member of the list would behave in
this manner, would they?
Cheers,
