| Very little change today, with the only 'new' rarity being a Cattle Egret,
which flew north-west past Sunk Island, East Yorkshire mid morning. The North-east
rarities all remained present, with both Steppe Grey Shrike and Desert
Wheatear in Lincolnshire, Two-barred Crossbill and Pied Wheatear
in North Yorkshire and Red-flanked Bluetail in Northumberland.
In the south, the Snowy Owl was still on the Isles of Scilly, on St Mary's, with both King Eider and Lesser Scaup still nearby, in Devon and Cornwall respectively. The American Golden Plover was again located in the ever-growing Golden Plover flock at East Harling, Norfolk, and another Cattle Egret was at Ulverston, Cumbria. A very impressive count of seven Serins at Rainham Marshes RSPB must be one of the largest recorded in Britain in November. Other scarcities included Ring-necked Duck in Norfolk, Grey Phalaropes in Bedfordshire and Ayrshire, Rose-coloured Starling in Cornwall and still rapidly increasing numbers of Waxwings in the north. |
