Lingering rarities confirmed as still present comprised the Northern Waterthrush and two Dusky Warblers on the Isles of Scilly, Greater Yellowlegs in Northumberland, Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, Spotted Sandpiper and two Long-billed Dowitchers together in Somerset, Least Sandpiper in County Kerry, American Herring Gull in County Cork, Red-breasted Goose in Essex, Desert Wheatears in both East Yorkshire and Shropshire, Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in both Dorset and Suffolk, Spotted Sandpiper in County Meath, Lesser Scaup in West Yorkshire, and Ferruginous Ducks in both County Armagh and Berkshire. Scarcities included Pallas's Warbler in Gwynedd, Rose-coloured Starling in Dorset, American Wigeons in both Devon and West Yorkshire, and Yellow-browed Warblers in Conwy, Norfolk and the Isles of Scilly (2). Thirty Tundra Bean Geese were logged, all but one being in central Scotland. |
