| The highlight of the day was the presence of seven Alpine Swifts: singles in Cornwall at Marazion, Devon at Exminster Marshes, Essex at Frinton-on-Sea, Norfolk at Winterton, London at Leyton Flats, County Louth at Drogheda and Somerset at Dunster Beach; although only the Cornish bird lingered. Although duplication is possible, perhaps 14
Alpine Swifts have been recorded across 12 counties over the last four days. Lingering rarities comprised the Bufflehead still in Dorset, the Bonaparte's Gull in Glamorgan, King Eider in Moray, Lesser Scaup in Cornwall and Little Bunting in Highland. The best of the rest was a Purple Heron in Pembrokeshire, whilst other scarcities included 64 Waxwings across five counties, four Cattle Egrets, three each of Great White Egret and Great Grey Shrike, two each of Hoopoe, American Wigeon, Ring-billed Gull, Black Brant and Shorelark (Norfolk) and single Serin (East Sussex), Surf Scoter (Devon), Ring-necked Duck (Buckinghamshire), Snow Goose (Aberdeenshire), Iceland Gull (County Galway), Caspian Gull (Suffolk), Rough-legged Buzzard, Lapland Bunting and Glaucous Gull (all Norfolk). |
