Monday 29th March 2010  
  Suffolk was, once again, the place to be today, with the Lesser Kestrel still on Westleton Heath (although it wasn't seen after 2.50pm), Pallid Swift at Kessingland (not seen after 11.15am) and at least three Alpine Swifts (two roosting all day in Lowestoft, where one also flew south, and one at Southwold). Another new Alpine Swift was seen at North Foreland, Kent, with one still at Cromer, Norfolk.

Other lingering rarities included the Two-barred Crossbill in Bedfordshire, three Penduline Tits in Kent, Little Bunting in Highland, two King Eiders in Moray, Ferruginous Duck, Lesser Scaup and three Glossy Ibises in Somerset and Bonaparte's Gull in Glamorgan.

Scarcities included a Dotterel (Leicestershire), a Rough-legged Buzzard (Norfolk), a Hoopoe (Dorset), three Great Grey Shrikes, three Ring-necked Ducks, two American Wigeon, a Cattle Egret, at least three Great White Egrets and 47 Waxwings.
