| A 1st-winter Bonaparte's Gull was located at Cheddar Reservoir,
Somerset and the 2nd-winter Franklin's Gull remained in the same county.
A Penduline Tit was heard at Minsmere RSPB, Suffolk and in Forth a
Lesser Scaup was at Vale of Coustry for its fourth day.
In Pembrokeshire the Black Duck was still on show, as was the long-staying Rose-coloured Starling. Other long-stayers included Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in Cornwall and Cleveland, King Eider in Devon, Lesser Scaups in Dumfries and Galloway, Western Isles and Somerset and a Ross's Goose in Lancashire. An adult Bonaparte's Gull reappeared in Aberdeenshire, as did a probable Eastern Yellow Wagtail in Cornwall. At least twenty one Cattle Egrets were still present in southern Britain. |
