Sunday 22nd April 2012
	The highlight of the day was breaking news of a territorial male Iberian Chiffchaff present for its second day at Castor Hanglands, Cambridgeshire. Discoveries elsewhere included a Blue-winged Teal at Levenmouth, Perth and Kinross, a brief Red-throated Pipit at New Passage, Gloucestershire, and, late news for yesterday, a King Eider seen in The Wash off Lincolnshire. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were both the Greater Yellowlegs and White-billed Diver in Aberdeenshire, Black-winged Stilt in Lincolnshire, two Long-billed Dowitchers together in Somerset, and Glossy Ibises in Cleveland, Dorset, Gwynedd, Lancashire and Pembrokeshire (3). Scarcities included Pectoral Sandpiper (Herefordshire), Dotterel (Oxfordshire), Surf Scoter (County Cork) and Ring-necked Duck (Cornwall).
