| An otherwise very quiet day surprisingly yielded three new rarities. A first
winter American Herring Gull, the first new bird since the recent split
of this species, was found on Lewis, Western Isles, with an adult Bonaparte's
Gull nearby on South Uist. A first winter drake Lesser Scaup was
found in County Sligo, most likely representing the first record for this
county. The White-crowned Sparrow is still at Cley, Norfolk, and the Pacific Diver is still in Pembrokeshire. Good numbers of Cattle Egrets are still present in southern England, and the Lesser Yellowlegs is still in Angus. Another unseasonal Richard's Pipit was reported from Angus for its second day. |
