| All of the rarities discovered today are actually quite likely to be birds returning to favoured old haunts: the
Bonaparte's Gull in Cardiff, Glamorgan had been present there on 8th-30th March 2009, a
Long-billed Dowitcher at Banks Marsh, Lancashire was where up to two were seen on 12th-31st October 2009, and a
Lesser Scaup arrived at Chew Valley Lake, Somerset - where one had been noted on 7th April-1st May 2008. The continued presence of the Bufflehead in Dorset headlined the cast of lingering rarities, supported by both Pacific Diver and Pied-billed Grebe in County Clare, Forster's Tern in County Galway, Black Kite in Powys, three Glossy Ibises together in Somerset, single Lesser Scaups in both Cornwall and Glamorgan and Little Buntings in Cornwall and Highland. Scarcities included 23 Waxwings across five counties, 14 Shorelarks (Norfolk), nine Ring-billed Gulls, seven Great Grey Shrikes, five each of Surf Scoter and Little Auk (together off Northumberland), four each of Ring-necked Duck and Great White Egret, three Glaucous Gulls, two each of Rough-legged Buzzard (Norfolk), Cattle Egret and Tundra Bean Goose (Lancashire) and single American Wigeon (Dumfries and Galloway), Green-winged Teal (County Waterford), Lapland Bunting (Lincolnshire) and Caspian Gull (Oxfordshire). |
