| The highlight of the day was confirmation from Ireland of the continued presence of the
Thayer's Gull in County Galway, the Bonaparte's Gull in County Cork and the
American Eider in County Donegal. Lingering rarities elsewhere comprised the
Black-throated Thrush still in North Yorkshire, Black Kite in Powys,
Little Bunting in Highland, three Glossy Ibises together in Somerset and single
Lesser Scaups in both Cornwall and Glamorgan. Scarcities included 13 Tundra Bean Geese in Suffolk, six Shorelarks, five each of Cattle Egret and Great White Egret, four Great Grey Shrikes, three Green-winged Teals, two each of Surf Scoter, Snow Goose, Rough-legged Buzzard, Ring-necked Duck and Lapland Bunting and single Rose-coloured Starling (Cumbria) and Black Brant (Lincolnshire). Notable gulls comprised six each of Glaucous and Iceland and single Ring-billed (County Kerry) and Caspian (Cheshire). Significant late news concerned a Short-toed Treecreeper that was present near Dover, Kent on 1st-2nd February but has not been seen since. |
