Wednesday 31st October 2012  
  In County Galway, what is presumably the same Belted Kingfisher as a few weeks ago reappeared today, this time south of Clifden at the west end of Salt Lake. In County Durham a Bee-eater was seen at Seaburn this morning, but there were no further reports this afternoon, whilst a Black Kite flew over Slapton Sands in Devon. Late news from yesterday concerned a grey morph Gyr over Dowlais, Glamorgan, and a Radde's Warbler trapped and ringed at Hollesley, Suffolk.

Lingering rarities included the Pied-billed Grebe in County Mayo, Eastern Olivaceous Warbler in Fife, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Sussex, Desert Wheatear in Essex, Penduline Tit in Kent, Blyth's Reed Warbler on the Isles of Scilly, two White-rumped Sandpipers together in Norfolk (with another in Highland), Lesser Yellowlegs' in Lancashire and Devon, Bonaparte's Gull in Devon, King Eider in Moray, Red-breasted Goose in Hampshire, four Richardson's Canada Geese in Argyll and Lesser Scaup in Somerset.
