Thursday 21st March 2013  
  The most interesting discovery on an otherwise cold, quiet day was a second Black-bellied Dipper at Thetford in Norfolk, both birds being seen together during the day. A possible African Chaffinch was reported yesterday on Stronsay on Orkney.

Long stayers included the Harlequin Duck and Richardson's Canada Goose on North Uist, the Pied-billed Grebe in Somerset, Blue-winged Teal in Dumfries and Galloway, Desert Wheatear in Aberdeenshire and Red-breasted Goose in Hampshire.

There was a good scattering of Spoonbill records today with 13 birds spread between the south coast and Cumbria, with one inland in Derbyshire.
