| Strong north-west winds across much of the country somewhat put the brakes on
spring migration, but despite this, a Hoopoe was found at Knighton in
north Somerset, and a Purple Heron was reported at Doxey Marshes in
Staffordshire. The winds brought in some very unseasonal seabirds with 33 Little
Auks past The Butt of Lewis on the Western Isles and Leach's Petrels
recorded in Aberdeenshire, Argyll (seven birds) and Conwy. Kittiwakes
appeared inland in Herefordshire and Berkshire, and a Fulmar was found by
gull watchers inland at Wheldrake Ings in Yorkshire.
Although no new rarities were found, the Black-throated Thrush was seen again on the Isle of Bute, the two Snowy Owls were again on Lewis and the Lesser Scaup was relocated near Belturbet in County Cavan. Two American Herring Gulls were reported in Cornwall, with two others still on Lewis and in County Galway. Regulars still present included the Pacific Diver in Pembrokeshire, the two Red-breasted Geese in Norfolk, Lesser Scaup at Blagdon Lake in Somerset, White-billed Diver in Cornwall and Laughing Gull near Exeter in Devon. |
