The highlight of the day was the discovery of Lancashire's first ever
Killdeer at Alston Reservoirs, Longridge, present for a couple of hours from
mid morning. Typically mobile, it flew off once, only to reappear a short while
later, before doing the same, but not returning. Astonishingly, it was found by
the same observer who found what may have been the same individual in County
Donegal on 29th March, which was also a county first.
Lingering rarities included the Pied-billed Grebe at Ham Wall RSPB, Somerset, Lesser Yellowlegs at Ernesettle, Devon, White-billed Diver off Herston, Orkney, Long-billed Dowitcher and Glossy Ibises at Dale and Marloes, Pembrokeshire, Ferruginous Duck at Otmoor RSPB, Oxfordshire and single Lesser Scaups at Cosmeston Lakes, Glamorgan, Tredegar, Gwent, Siblyback Lake, Cornwall, Freiston Shore RSPB, Lincolnshire, Saltholme RSPB, Cleveland and Wellington GPs, Herefordshire. |
