Tuesday 12th January 2010
	The highlight of the day was the continued presence of the Black-throated Thrush at Newholm, North Yorkshire. Other lingering rarities comprised the Lesser Scaup in Glamorgan, Red-breasted Goose in Devon, Ferruginous Duck in County Armagh and Little Bunting in Highland whilst in Flintshire the Long-billed Dowitcher reappeared at Connah's Quay. Scarcities seen today included six each of Lapland Bunting (together in Lincolnshire) and Glaucous Gull, three Ring-billed Gulls, two each of Ring-necked Duck, Green-winged Teal and Caspian Gull and single Serin (London), Great White Egret (Kent), Great Grey Shrike (South Yorkshire), Black Brant (Dorset), Tundra Bean Goose (Powys) and Waxwing (Norfolk).
