with brief encounters with a Black Stork at Scaling Dam Reservoir, Cleveland,
Whiskered Tern at Hurst, Hampshire and Black Kite at Dungeness, Kent. Lingering rarities comprised the Upland Sandpiper still in Aberdeenshire, Ross's Gull in Lancashire, Black Duck in County Donegal, American Golden Plover in Devon, Whiskered Tern in Dorset, American Herring Gull in County Galway, Subalpine Warbler in Cornwall, Black-winged Stilts in both Cheshire (2) and Gwent, two Black Kites in Hampshire, Great White Egret on the Isle of Man and Cattle Egrets in Cornwall (9) and Nottinghamshire.
