| New rarities were few and far between but included a Lesser Scaup on North Uist,
Western Isles and an adult Black Kite reported over North Walsham, Norfolk. The Black-eared Kite at Holbeach Marsh, Lincolnshire continued to perform, although luck was often required to obtain good views of it. Other remaining rarities included the Dusky Warbler at Spurn Point, East Yorkshire, Red-breasted Geese in Lincolnshire, Purple Heron in Buckinghamshire, Gyr on St Kilda, Western Isles, Cattle Egret on the Otter Estuary, Devon and Spotted Sandpiper on the Hayle Estuary, Cornwall. The debated female Aythya - previously suspected as being a Redhead - remained on the Loch of Spiggie, Shetland but is now believed to be a hybrid Ring-necked Duck x Pochard. Reports of the reappearance of the Long-billed Murrelet in Dawlish, Devon raised the hopes of those unable to make it until Wednesday, but information received later this evening suggests that they may refer to a Guillemot. |
