| The big surprise of the day was the unexpected reappearance of the
blue-ringed Glaucous-winged Gull at Beddington Sewage Farm in south-west
London. Last seen in south Wales in early March, its appearance in the London
area was not easily predicted. Unfortunately, it was only seen for about an hour
in mid afternoon and not subsequently, but hopefully it will reappear tomorrow.
A Red-rumped Swallow was found at Dublin in the morning, but otherwise it was another day dominated by arriving common migrants with more small arrivals at south coast sites. Ring Ouzels again featured highly and scarce migrants included a Serin at Portland in Dorset, and Hoopoes at Felixstowe in Suffolk, near Pratt's Bottom on the London/Kent border and at Poolewe in Highland. Shorelarks remained on Cape Clear in County Cork and at Snettisham and Cley, both in Norfolk. The King Eider was seen again in Moray and long staying rarities included the Barrow's Goldeneye in Forth, the Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall, the Forster's Tern in County Galway, the Long-billed Dowitcher in County Louth and the Laughing Gull in Devon. |
