Tuesday 3rd April 2012  
  A smart male Pallid Harrier flew over Slimbridge WWT, Gloucestershire mid afternoon, but poor weather restricted viewing, and the bird was only retrospectively identified from the single photo taken. A juvenile gull briefly near Brigg, Lincolnshire looks very good for Thayer's Gull.

Lingering rarities seen today included the Falcated Duck in County Mayo, House Crow in County Cork, Black-winged Stilt in County Wexford, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Dorset, Bonaparte's Gull and Lesser Scaup in Gloucestershire (with another of the latter in Glamorgan), Blue-winged Teal in Cornwall, King Eider in Aberdeenshire, two Long-billed Dowitchers and Spotted Sandpiper in Somerset, single Glossy Ibises in the Western Isles, Suffolk, Essex, Cleveland and County Cork, and Little Bunting in Devon.
