| An adult Bonaparte's Gull at Whitburn Steel and, later, Boldon Flats
NR, County Durham was the only rarity discovered today. It is presumably the
individual which was first seen at Whitburn in 2010.
Lingering rarities included the Roller in Norfolk, Blue-winged Teal in Cambridgeshire, Gull-billed Tern in County Wexford, Bonaparte's Gull in Kent and Ferruginous Duck in Somerset. Scarcity highlights included a Night Heron, a Red-backed Shrike, a Red-necked Phalarope, three Buff-breasted Sandpipers, a Pectoral Sandpiper, a White-winged Black Tern, three Temminck's Stints, a Sabine's Gull, a Long-tailed Skua, seven Pomarine Skuas, 13 Great Shearwaters and six Cory's Shearwaters (five of which were at Spurn, Yorkshire). |
