Very rare bird found in Dorset garden after absence of more than two centuries.
It's hoped that a very rare bird found in Dorset will be offered its final resting place in a museum.
Dorchester decorator and part-time bird watcher Lawrence Dagnall discovered the White's Thrush in a Weymouth garden.
Sadly, the bird had perished when it collided with a window.
The identity of the White's Thrush was confirmed by the warden at Portland Bird Observatory, Martin Cade.
It last appeared in Dorset more than two centuries ago.
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Solent reporter Laurence Herdman has been speaking with Lawrence Dagnall about the chance discovery.
