| Today’s rarities were headlined by single Penduline Tits in Devon and Norfolk,
Red-breasted Goose in West Sussex, Lesser Scaup in both County Down and Nottinghamshire,
Ross's Goose in Norfolk, Cackling Canada Goose in Dumfries and Galloway and
Hooded Merganser in Dorset. Cattle Egret reports totaled twelve birds in six counties comprising six in Devon, two in Cornwall and one each in Norfolk, Pembrokeshire, Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight. Scarcities included eight Great Grey Shrikes, six Black Brants, four each of Ring-billed Gull and Green-winged Teal, three each of Rough-legged Buzzard and Ring-necked Duck, two Surf Scoters and single Lapland Bunting and Lesser Snow Goose. Significant late news concerned the reappearance yesterday of both the Gyr in Pembrokeshire and the Snowy Owl on the Orkney Islands. The report of a King Eider in Lothian yesterday proved to be erroneous, as did all reports of a Pacific Diver on the Isles of Scilly. |
