| The highlight of the day was the arrival of two male Lesser Scaups in the English Midlands; one in Derbyshire at Ogston Reservoir, and one in Herefordshire at Wellington. Other male
Lesser Scaups remained today in County Clare and Glamorgan, and with further singles noted in
Cheshire, Clyde, Cornwall, Flintshire and Lancashire during the last fortnight, perhaps as many as eight have been present across the British
Isles in recent days. Rarities elsewhere comprised the Harlequin Duck still on the Western Isles, American Coot and Forster's Tern in County Galway, Pied-billed Grebe and Ferruginous Duck together in Somerset, Desert Wheatear in Aberdeenshire, Red-breasted Goose in Hampshire, Bonaparte's Gulls in both County Dublin and Glamorgan, Black-bellied Dipper in Norfolk, Glossy Ibis in Hampshire, and a Black Kite briefly in Hampshire. Scarcities included Pallas's Warbler (Berkshire), Rose-coloured Starling (Devon), Temminck's Stint (Somerset), four American Wigeon, five Ring-necked Duck, and seven Surf Scoters (including four still in Conwy). Gulls included 24 Glaucous, 16 Iceland, seven Ring-billed, four Kumlien's and three Caspians. |
