| The highlight of the day was the reappearance of the Slaty-backed Gull in London; again at the landfill site and pools at Rainham Marshes. First noted early in the afternoon, the bird remained on show until late afternoon before it departed to the east. Elsewhere, lingering rarities comprised the elusive Rufous Turtle Dove still in Oxfordshire, the Forster's Tern in County Galway, House Crow in County Cork, Northern Harriers in both County Wexford and Norfolk, Red-breasted Goose in Hampshire, Bonaparte's Gull on Anglesey, Lesser Scaup in Cornwall and Coues's Arctic Redpoll in County Durham. A further Lesser Scaup was discovered in Glamorgan at Eglwys Nunydd Reservoir, presumably the bird first seen there last year. |
