Thursday 16th February 2012  
  News of the tenth Common Yellowthroat for Britain was released today, with a first-winter male present in Rhiwderyn, Gwent for the last few days. Being the first potentially twitchable bird for the mainland, and the first live bird since one on Foula, Shetland in 2004, it is likely that, if it sticks, it will be very popular at the weekend.

Long staying rarities still present today included the Spanish Sparrow and Dark-eyed Junco in Hampshire, Paddyfield Warbler in Sussex, Lesser White-fronted Goose and Coues's Arctic Redpoll in Norfolk, Northern Long-tailed Tit in Yorkshire, single Glossy Ibises in Kent, Dorset, Devon and Lancashire, single Red-breasted Geese in Suffolk and Essex, Richardson's Canada Goose in Argyll and single Lesser Scaups in Gloucestershire and Cornwall.
