Sunday 16th April 2006  
  The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Black-winged Stilt on The Lizard, Cornwall; perhaps the bird seen earlier in the month in Devon. The Alpine Swift present in Berkshire on 15th made an all to brief visit to Buckinghamshire – thwarting many county listers. Another Alpine Swift was found near Polperro, Cornwall in the evening and a Woodchat Shrike was at Abbotsbury in Dorset.

The Coues’s Arctic Redpoll showed again at Darlington, Co Durham whilst highlights amongst the long staying attractions included four White-billed Divers on Lewis, Western Isles, the Black Scoter at Llanfairfechan, Conwy, King Eider at Irvine, Ayrshire and Long-billed Dowitcher at Old Hall Marshes, Essex.
