| The outstanding find of the day was an adult male Barrow's Goldeneye on the River Teith in Callander, Forth. Until 2005
Barrow's Goldeneye was one of the great 'blockers' with just one accepted record, in Ayrshire in November and December 1979. However, with a male in Aberdeenshire during May and June last year and another - or the same -
in Co Down from November 2005 until April 2006 and again in November 2006, everyone has
now had a chance to see this superb duck. An adult Laughing Gull located in the large evening gull roost at Grafham Water was the first Cambridgeshire record whilst an adult Bonaparte's Gull at Lunan Bay, Angus is presumably a returning individual. The Black-eared Kite showed again at Holbeach Marsh, Lincolnshire and other long-stayers including the Forster's Tern in Co Louth, Glossy Ibis in Lancashire, Red-breasted Geese in Dorset and Lincolnshire (2), Cattle Egret in Devon and both Siberian Stonechat and Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall. Continuing American waders were represented by American Golden Plover in Cambridgeshire, Long-billed Dowitcher in Kent and four scattered White-rumped Sandpipers. |
