of a Eastern Crowned Warbler, all hoping to get a glimpse of this rare visitor to our shores, it was first spotted by a keen bird-watcher's wedding anniversary vigil, Dougie Holden, 47-year-old father-of-two spent his 26th wedding anniversary at the Trow Quarry in South Tyneside, on Thursday, hoping to catch sight of a Yellow Browed Warbler, which sometimes visit in autumn, but instead saw the Eastern,
