Scarcities included a Pallas's Warbler (reported on the Orkney Isles), Barred Warbler (Fife), Yellow-browed Warbler (Devon), Surf Scoter (County Cork), Cattle Egret (Devon), and Richard's Pipits (two together in Cleveland, two toegther in East Yorkshire and one in Suffolk). Waxwings were recorded in 41 counties between the Shetland Isles, Western Isles, Suffolk and Cornwall, with flocks over 100 in 13 counties, and maximum flock counts including 424 in Aberdeenshire, 300 in East Yorkshire, 250 in both County Durham and Highland, 220 in Forth, and 200 each in Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway and North Yorkshire. |
