| Two male Penduline Tits were found today, showing well briefly at
Oulton Broad, Suffolk. Despite searching, they were not seen again. One was
heard again at Minsmere RSPB, near the West Hide. On the Western Isles, an adult
Bonaparte's Gull was seen at Peninerine, South Uist, and a
White-billed Diver was off Port Skigersta, Lewis.
A new Cattle Egret was located in Norfolk, and the Great Reed Warbler was heard again on Scilly. Three Lesser Scaups were seen, as well as a drake King Eider in Ayrshire and Barrow's Goldeneye in County Down. Also in Ireland, the juvenile American Herring Gull was still in County Galway, and the Lesser Yellowlegs remained in County Cork. Spring migrants continued to flood in, with a good passage of Ospreys occurring across the country, around 25 birds were seen. The first three Dotterel of the year were seen, on Scilly and in Carmarthenshire. |
