Great Spotted Cuckoo still in Norfolk, Marsh Sandpiper on the Isles of Scilly,
Lesser Yellowlegs in Lothian, Ferruginous Duck in Fife, Great White Egrets in both Suffolk and Somerset; the later with two
Cattle Egrets and a Ferruginous Duck. Scarcities included Pectoral Sandpipers in Cleveland, Lincolnshire and Norfolk (2), Spotted Crake in Hampshire, Ring-necked Duck in Fife, Ring-billed Gull in County Clare, an Icterine Warbler on the Shetland Isles and a family of Marsh Warblers at Kilnsea, East Yorkshire. |
