Monday 15th April 2013
	Highlight of the day was the discovery of a drake Baikal Teal at Flamborough Head. Initially picked up flying in off the sea with two Wigeon, it was later relocated on pools on the headland, where it remained until dusk. Elsewhere rarities comprised Harlequin Duck on Western Isles, White-billed Diver in Highland, Pied-billed Grebe in Somerset, Bonaparte's Gull in Glamorgan, Glossy Ibises in West Sussex and Pembrokeshire, Little Bunting in Co Durham and Lesser Scaups in Lancashire, Cleveland, Gwent and Herefordshire. The best of the rest included Hoopoes in Somerset, West Sussex and Hertfordshire, Pallas's Warbler on the Berkshire/ Hampshire border, Rose-coloured Starling in Devon, three Shorelarks in Ceredigion, two Dotterels in Lancashire, Montagu's Harrier in Dorset and Woodchat Shrike in Cornwall.
