A first-winter Laughing Gull was watched for an hour at Standing Tarn,
Cumbria late morning, but news was only released after dark. A Long-billed
Dowitcher in Somerset was another quality find today, spending the afternoon
at Greylake RSPB, with other rarity discoveries including a White-billed
Diver at Portsoy, Aberdeenshire and single Glossy Ibises in
Lincolnshire and County Galway.
Lingering rarities seen today included the Common Yellowthroat in Gwent, Northern Waterthrush in the Isles of Scilly, Spanish Sparrow in Hampshire, Siberian Stonechat in County Wexford, Pallid Harrier in County Galway, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Dorset, Coues's Arctic Redpoll in Norfolk, Spotted Sandpiper and Lesser Scaup in Somerset (with another of the former still in Dorset), Black-bellied Dipper in Yorkshire and Long-billed Dowitcher in Dumfries and Galloway. Glossy Ibises were seen in Norfolk (4), Pembrokeshire (3), Kent (2), Cleveland, Suffolk and Lancashire. |
