| Rarity highlights included the White-crowned Sparrow in Norfolk,
Glossy Ibises in Lincolnshire and Lancashire, King Eider in Devon,
Spotted Sandpiper in Glamorgan, Red-breasted Goose in Dumfries &
Galloway and Falcated Duck in Devon. In Lancashire the Ross's Goose
(initially found in late January) relocated to Aldcliffe Marsh this afternoon,
after being rediscovered on Rawcliffe Moss on Wednesday following a month under
the radar in the Lancashire Pink-footed Goose flocks. Another Ross's Goose
remains on Holkham Freshmarsh, Norfolk.
In Ireland the American Buff-bellied Pipit, five Cattle Egrets and various white-winged and Ring-billed Gulls were on show. |
