| The highlight of the day was news of a Pied-billed Grebe in Greater Manchester: present at Hollingworth Lake for a sixth day. Although this species was a regularly occurring rarity in Britain between 1992 and 1999 - with mobile individuals accounting for records in a total of seventeen counties during this period - there has not been a widely twitched bird since one visited Oxfordshire in November 1999. Elsewhere, a Long-billed Dowitcher was discovered at Axmouth, Devon and a Desert Lesser Whitethroat arrived at Sumburgh Head, Shetland Isles. Lingering rarities comprised the Green Heron still in Cornwall, Red-breasted Goose in Lancashire, House Crow in County Cork, Dusky Warbler on the Isles of Scilly, American Golden Plover in Norfolk, White-rumped Sandpiper in County Waterford, Lesser Scaup in Glamorgan, Richardson's Canada Goose in Argyll and Glossy Ibis in Devon. Scarcities included six Pallas's Warblers, three each of both Sabine's Gull and Great Grey Shrike, two each of Surf Scoter (together in Ceredigion), Long-tailed Skua, Great White Egret and Green-winged Teal and single Serin (Shetland Isles), Richard's Pipit (County Durham), Rough-legged Buzzard (West Midlands) and Ring-billed Gull (Merseyside). Waxwings were recorded across 38 counties. |
