| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a male Collared Flycatcher in
Dorset at Southwell, Isle of Portland. Found in a garden late in the afternoon, disappointingly, the news was not broadcast until after dark. Other rarities comprised a Snowy Owl on the Orkney Isles, Whiskered Terns in both Cambridgeshire and Derbyshire, Black Kite on the Shetland Isles, Subalpine Warbler in Gwent, Red-throated Pipit in Northumberland, Red-rumped Swallows in County Durham, East Yorkshire (2) and Fife, White-billed Diver in Highland, Lesser Scaup in Glamorgan and Ferruginous Ducks in Somerset and Suffolk. Scarcities included five Wrynecks, four Green-winged Teals, three Woodchat Shrikes, two each of Lesser Snow Goose, Ring-necked Duck and Surf Scoter and single Purple Heron, Serin, Temminck's Stint, Pectoral Sandpiper, Ring-billed Gull and Grey-headed Wagtail. |
