Saturday 2nd April 2011
	Highlight of the day was a Red-flanked Bluetail in Dorset, which was found at Durlston Country Park mid morning and remained in the area until late afternoon at least, although it proved very elusive for much of the time. Of the 68 accepted records to the end of 2009, just four have been seen during Spring. Other new rarities found today included a Black Stork and a Bee-eater in Isles of Scilly, with another Bee-eater in Cornwall, an Alpine Swift in Norfolk and single Red-rumped Swallows in County Wexford and Cornwall. Long staying rarities included the Stejneger's Scoter in County Kerry, Short-toed Treecreeper in Suffolk, Rufous Turtle Dove in Oxfordshire, Ferruginous Duck in Wiltshire, single Lesser Scaups in Gloucestershire, Glamorgan and Merseyside and Long-billed Dowitcher in Dorset.
