Sunday March 4, 2001 at 15.00 local birder and bird-painter Jens Frimer Andersen discovered a White's Thrush feeding on apples outside his house in the small village of Skårup, Northern Jutland, Denmark.
He quickly alerted local birders and before the bird dived into a dense garden at 15.56 and could not be found again it was enjoyed by about 10 other observers.
Next day the hole Danish twitching scene gathered at the garden at dawn but it was not until 11.25 that the bird was refound. it quickly moved back to JFA's garden and could be watched at ranges down to 15 meters as i fed on apples amongst several Blackbirds and a single Fieldfare.
It constituted the fourth Danish record of this near mythical Siberian vagrant. The other Danish records have been in 1909, 1918, and 1952.
