| Another quiet December day, with one interesting discovery being a
Barred Warbler at the Ouse Washes in Cambridgeshire - unusual in both it's
late date and inland location (the first in that county since 1979). In west
Wales a Great White Egret was found over the high tide at Aber Ogwen.
Otherwise the interest was all in the form of long staying rarities: with the Desert Wheatear remaining near Burniston in North Yorkshire; the Finnish-ringed White-tailed Eagle seen again in Hampshire; the Lesser Scaup still at Draycote Water in Warwickshire; the Lesser Yellowlegs still at the Montrose Basin in Angus; two King Eiders still at Aberdeen and the Red-breasted Goose remaining at Chichester Harbour in West Sussex. There were still ten Cattle Egrets scattered around the west country and in Northumberland the Short-toed Lark remained on show near Seahouses. In Suffolk there was a high count of 450 Great Crested Grebes off Minsmere. |
