| The highlight of the day was the continued presence of the Pallid Swift in Suffolk at Kessingland, whilst other rarities comprised the three
Penduline Tits still together in Kent, Bonaparte's Gull in Glamorgan,
Alpine Swift in Essex, King Eider in Moray, Little Bunting in Highland and a
Ferruginous Duck newly discovered at Holmethorpe, Surrey. Elsewhere, brief encounters included a
Black Kite in Somerset, the Iberian Chiffchaff in Norfolk and Two-barred Crossbill in Bedfordshire: the latter two are proving to be most elusive. Scarce spring migrants consisted of four Hoopoes and single Kentish Plover (Kent), Woodchat Shrike (Cornwall) and Bluethroat (Lothian). Lingering winter visitors included 24 Waxwings, 12 Shorelarks, five Iceland Gulls, three each of Great White Egret and Green-winged Teal, two each of Great Grey Shrike, Glaucous Gull and Black Brant and single American Wigeon (Dumries and Galloway), Tundra Bean Goose (Cumbria) and Caspian Gull (Suffolk). |
