Friday 11th March 2011  
  In County Kerry the adult drake Stejneger's Scoter was again present with Common Scoters at Rossbeigh, allowing more people a chance to catch up with it.

In Northumberland a Coues's Arctic Redpoll was seen briefly near Longframlington but the individual in Bedfordshire was not seen today. The Penduline Tit put in another appearance at Dungeness in Kent as did the Northern Harrier on Lewis in the Western Isles. Lingering rarities included the Rufous Turtle Dove in Oxfordshire, the Bonaparte's Gull on Anglesey, the Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset and the Lesser Scaup at Slimbridge in Gloucestershire.

Penzance continued to play host to the overwintering Rose-coloured Starling and the White-tailed Eagle was again seen in Hampshire. Nine Great Grey Shrikes were reported around the country and an increasing number of summer migrants were noted with Wheatears and Sand Martins widely scattered as well as Swallow, Little Ringed Plover and Garganey all reported.
