| Although no new rarities were reported today, lingering species continued to
perform well. The Barrow's Goldeneye in Forth was once again the top
rarity but was supported by an excellent cast of species. Rare thrushes were
represented by the American Robin in West Yorkshire and the Black-throated
Thrush in Argyll. Rare wildfowl were comprised of the Black Scoter in
North Wales, and several Green-winged Teal and American Wigeon across
the British Isles.
A pod of Killer Whales in the Firth of Forth have also proven popular in recent days with at least one individual present today, and as many as 5 present during the last week. |
