Friday 14th April 2006
	The highlight of the day was the appearance of a dapper Bonaparte’s Gull at Cardiff Bay, Glamorgan. On the Western Isles birders watching two White-billed Divers on Lewis at Skigersta located at least one Arctic Redpoll in a nearby garden. The American Herring Gull remained in Galway, Co Galway as did the Laughing Gull in Cork, Co Cork, Long-billed Dowitcher on Hayle Estuary, Cornwall and the Black-winged Stilt at Thurlestone, Devon.
