Monday 3rd July 2006  
  The only 'new' rarity discovered today was presumably an old friend, a colour-ringed Great White Egret at Mockbeggar, Hampshire is presumably the bird that has intermittently frequented the numerous waters in that vicinity over the last four years. A belated report of a Great White Egret seen recently in Portsmouth Harbour, Hampshire may well be the same bird.

An adult male Common Rosefinch remained on territory at Newmachar, Abderdeenshire having been present at this site for at least eleven days.

In Greater Manchester the adult male aythya at Pennington Flash that on Saturday had been identified as a Lesser Scaup was today confirmed to be just a Scaup.
