| The two main discoveries today were of a Cattle Egret at Hengistbury
Head in Dorset and a female type Ferruginous Duck at Threipmuir
Reservoirs in Lothian. In Merseyside, the Pallas's Warbler near Hightown
continued to be a popular attraction, and the Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler
remained at Donmouth in Aberdeenshire. Other long staying rarities in
Scotland included the Ross's Gull in Argyll, the Barrow's Goldeneye in
Forth and the Bonaparte's Gull in Angus. Elsewhere, a female Ring-necked
Duck was found at Hawkridge Reservoir in Somerset, Falcated Ducks
remained in Kent and Devon, the White-rumped Sandpiper was again at
Salthouse in Norfolk and the Spotted Sandpiper continued its sojourn at
Hayle, in Cornwall, although it seemed a little more elusive.
Norfolk continued to host at least one Snow Goose with the Pinkfeet as well as Shorelarks at Holkham and Caister. An unusual number of inland Knot in Cambridgeshire were presumably brought down in foggy conditions |
