| Highlight of the day would have been the first-winter Ross's Gull at
Port Carlisle, Cumbria if it had lingered, with just three Little Gulls being
present a few minutes after the sighting. In Kent, a female Red-footed Falcon
was seen at Stodmarsh NNR early morning only.
Lingering rarities included the surprise re-appearance of the juvenile Northern Harrier at Tacumshin, County Wexford, where it was again present with an American Golden Plover, a White-billed Diver and a Night Heron. The Trumpeter Finch remained in Devon, as did the Savi's Warbler in Dorset, Red-footed Falcon in Somerset, single Bonaparte's Gulls in Gwynedd and Devon, Tawny Pipit in Yorkshire and Red-rumped Swallow in Isles of Scilly. Scarcity highlights included a Common Rosefinch, White-spotted Bluethroat, Serin, Woodchat Shrike, Spotted Crake, Purple Heron, two Night Herons, two Pectoral Sandpipers and three Red-necked Phalaropes in England (with two others in Western Isles). Sea-watching was, once again, excellent in north-west Scotland, with over a thousand Long-tailed Skuas seen, as well as good numbers of Pomarine Skuas and a few Leach's Petrels and Sabine's Gulls. |
