Thursday 1st April 2010  
  The highlight of the day was the discovery of a Fan-tailed Warbler in Kent at Pegwell Bay. Elsewhere, rarities comprised the Pallid Swift still in Suffolk, the Two-barred Crossbill still in Bedfordshire, single Alpine Swifts over each of Cornwall, Dorset, Kent, London and Norfolk, three Penduline Tits together in Kent, Little Bunting in Highland, Lesser Scaups in both Glamorgan and Somerset, and in Suffolk the Canvasback (or perhaps a hybrid Canvasback x Pochard) remains.

Scarcities included 28 Waxwings, four Ring-billed Gulls (all in Ireland), three Iceland Gulls, two each of American Wigeon, Ring-necked Duck and Great Grey Shrike and single Hoopoe and Cattle Egret (both Dorset), Surf Scoter (Aberdeenshire), Rough-legged Buzzard (East Yorkshire), Green-winged Teal (Leicestershire) and migrant Dotterel (Cornwall).
