Tropical Depression 23W was a relatively weak system but unleashed torrential rain over northern and central Vietnam, causing the country's worst flooding in decades. Nearly 50,000 houses across the region were flooded or destroyed.
At least 83 people were confirmed to have died as of Tuesday, according to an update from the National Search and Rescue Committee. 21 people remain missing, including 5 people who were buried by a landslide in Hoa Binh province.
In addition to homes which have been destroyed, an estimated 75,600 hectares (186,800 acres) of agricultural crops - most of them rice fields - have been flooded. The worst affected region is Thanh Hoa province, where some 327 millimeters (12.8 inches) of rain was recorded.
Remnants from Typhoon Khanun are expected to bring further rain this week.
The quelea is a sparrow-sized bird, common in huge flocks in many areas of Africa.
Dennis told the Leader: "Was it coincidence that we spotted a red-billed quelea at our bird table the day after we had winds blowing in from the Sahara?
"Such a bird found in Scotland would normally have escaped from captivity, but is it possible that on this occasion it was carried all the way from Africa by the high winds?
"Spotting the bird I quickly reached for my camera, only to find the battery dead, but managed to find another poorer quality one and get a couple of shots before the quelea, fed, flew off.

City receives 1,621.6 mm rain this year, surpassing the record set in 2005
With rains continuing to lash the city, Bengaluru galloped to an all-time record for the wettest year.
By Saturday evening, the city had witnessed 1,621.6 mm of rainfall this year, surpassing the current all-time record of around 1,600 mm in 2005, according to India Meteorological Department data.
In the past two months, Bengaluru received, on average, more than the rainfall it would see in a year.
But in the wake of this was destruction and loss of lives. At least 15 people have died in rain-related incidents this year.
Apart from this, battered infrastructure was held responsible for the deaths of five people in pothole-related accidents.
Late Friday, a woman was rescued from her car after it got caught in the swirling currents over the Vrishbhavathi bridge at Nayanadanahalli.
The push to the record was seen on Friday night when the city saw 34 mm of rainfall in the IMD station at Palace Road.
