| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a white morph Gyr on Islay, Argyll - although it transpires that it may well have been present on the island for around ten days. Other rarities seen today included the Snowy Owl in Cornwall, three Penduline Tits together in Suffolk, Bonaparte's Gull in Glamorgan, King Eider in Fife, Lesser Scaups in both Glamorgan and Nottinghamshire, Ferruginous Ducks in both Somerset and Suffolk, Great White Egret in Clyde and the Hooded Merganser in Dorset. Cattle Egret reports totaled 25 birds in ten counties comprising 13 in Cornwall, four in County Waterford and singles in Cheshire, Dorset, Essex, Gloucestershire, Isle of Man, Pembrokeshire, Isles of Scilly and Wiltshire. Spring migrants included a brief Black Kite in Kent and Hoopoes in County Cork, County Waterford, Gwynedd, Norfolk, Pembrokeshire and the Isles of Scilly (2). |
