Friday 25th March 2011  
  In Suffolk, the Short-toed Treecreeper remained on show at Landguard NR. Whilst it was generally elusive in the field, it was re-trapped regularly by the ringing team, giving many the opportunity for a closer view. Other lingering Megas today included the Stejneger's Scoter at Rossbeigh, County Kerry, Pied-billed Grebe in Salen Bay, Argyll and House Crow at Cobh, County Cork.

Rarities seen today included two Penduline Tits at Minsmere RSPB, Suffolk, Blue-winged Teal at Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Bonaparte's Gull at Cardiff Bay, Glamorgan, Long-billed Dowitcher at Lodmoor RSPB, Dorset, Lesser Scaup at Marshside RSPB, Merseyside and Northern Harrier on Lewis, Western Isles.

Scarcity highlights included a White-spotted Bluethroat in Isles of Scilly, Rose-coloured Starling in Cornwall, three Hoopoes on the south coast and 16 Great Grey Shrikes across the country.
