Black Kites in both Cornwall and Devon. Scarcities included Short-toed Lark (Shetland Isles), Rose-coloured Starling (Isle of Wight and Western Isles), Woodchat Shrike (Gloucestershire and Isles of Scilly), Buff-breasted Sandpiper (Cornwall), White-tailed Eagle (Lincolnshire), Surf Scoter (Aberdeenshire (4) and Angus), Purple Heron (Kent), Spotted Crake (Lincolnshire and West Midlands), Red-necked Phalarope (East Yorkshire), Pectoral Sandpiper (Essex and Norfolk), Great White Egret (Hampshire) and Cattle Egret (two together in Essex).
