| The adult drake Stejneger's Scoter continued its stay in the bay at
Rossbeigh in County Kerry, much to the delight of all those that made the
journey across to see it. Also in County Kerry, the Black Duck was seen
again at Ventry Harbour. In Oxfordshire the long staying Rufous Turtle Dove
showed well in the garden of Number 41 The Leys, Chipping Norton, early in the
morning.
A White-billed Diver flew north past Whitburn in County Durham, whilst in Suffolk there was an Arctic Redpoll at Mayday Farm in Breckland. Further evidence of the arrival of spring came with three new Hoopoes being found along the south coast - at Portland in Dorset, on The Lizard in Cornwall and on St.Agnes in the Scillies. Long staying rarities included the Bonaparte's Gull on Anglesey, Lesser Scaups at Slimbridge in Gloucester and at Cosmeston in Glamorgan, and Ferruginous Ducks in Suffolk and County Armagh. The White-tailed Eagle remained in Hampshire and an adult Ring-billed Gull was found at Stanpit Marsh in Dorset. Twelve Great Grey Shrikes were reported, along with five Rough-legged Buzzards, of which four were in Norfolk, 27 Shorelarks (Norfolk and Lincolnshire) and 102 Lapland Buntings. |
