Sunday 28th March 2010  
  An adult male Lesser Kestrel was a surprise find at Minsmere RSPB, Suffolk this evening. Initially showing extremely well along the entrance track, it later relocated to nearby Westleton Heath, where it showed distantly until mid evening, and was then later reported going to roost in a holm oak. An Alpine Swift flew over the site early evening, whilst, nearby, the Pallid Swift remained at Kessingland with another Alpine Swift. Two Alpine Swifts were still in Lowestoft, with other singles in Norfolk (2) and Dorset.

A Fan-tailed Warbler was present at Bockhill, Kent briefly mid morning, with other new discoveries today including Ferruginous Duck in Suffolk and Long-billed Dowitcher in Merseyside. Yesterday, the Pallid Harrier was seen again at Zennor, Cornwall, and a King Eider was found in Dunnet Bay, Highland, where it was still present today.

Other lingering rarities included Bufflehead in Dorset, Two-barred Crossbill in Bedfordshire, three Penduline Tits in Kent, Lesser Scaup and Ferruginous Duck in Somerset, Pacific Diver in County Clare, Forster's Tern in County Galway, Little Bunting in Highland and Bonaparte's Gull in Glamorgan.
