    Distinctly local in Somerset, with most records from an area in the south of the county between Taunton, Yeovil and the Poldens.  It is usually reported only a handful of times each year, but often as several individuals.  There are isolated, occasional records outside this area, particularly around Burnham-on-Sea and Frome, possibly suggesting local populations there.
