| The highlight of the day was, once again, the relocation of the adult Slaty-backed
Gull, in Essex at Hanningfield Reservoir. Present for just ten minutes in the late morning before the bird was lost, it could not be found again by dusk. Elsewhere, lingering rarities comprised the Pacific Diver still in Cornwall, Red-breasted Goose in Hampshire, Northern Harrier, Ferruginous Duck and Ross's Goose in Norfolk, Bonaparte's Gull in County Cork, Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset, Lesser Scaups in each of Cornwall, Glamorgan and Gloucestershire, and four Northern Long-tailed Tits in Kent. Scarcities included 29 Lapland Buntings, 23 Shorelarks, 19 Tundra Bean Geese, nine Iceland Gulls, eight Great Grey Shrikes, seven Ring-billed Gulls, five Black Brants, four each of both Ring-necked Duck and Glaucous Gull, three each of Great White Egret and Caspian Gull, two each of American Wigeon and Cattle Egret, and single Rose-coloured Starling (Cornwall), Rough-legged Buzzard (Norfolk), Green-winged Teal (County Galway) and Snow Goose (County Antrim). |
