Other rarities comprised the Snowy Owl still on the Western Isles, Red-breasted Goose and Cattle Egret still in Devon, Long-billed Dowitcher in Cumbria, single Ferruginous Ducks in East Sussex, Somerset and West Yorkshire, Glossy Ibis in Worcestershire and single Great White Egrets in both Northamptonshire and Warwickshire. Scarcities were represented by a Little Bunting (Highland), Richard's Pipit (Cornwall), Yellow-browed Warbler (Somerset), Greater Snow Goose (Norfolk), Ring-necked Duck (West Yorkshire), Green-winged Teal (Greater Manchester) and two Lapland Buntings (together in East Yorkshire) whilst scarce gull totals included three each of both Ring-billed and Iceland and two Caspian. |
