	In County Kerry, the adult drake Stejneger's Scoter continued its stay at Rossbeigh, entertaining a crowd of nine during the morning. Other lingering rarities seen today included the Rufous Turtle Dove in Oxfordshire, Coues's Arctic Redpoll in Bedfordshire, Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset and Lesser Scaup in Gloucestershire. Scarcity highlights included Rose-coloured Starling, White-tailed Eagle, Balearic Shearwater and three Little Auks, with good numbers of common Spring migrants continuing to arrive, including around 50 Sand Martins at Blashford Lakes, Hampshire.
