| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a juvenile Thayer's Gull in Glamorgan at Burry Holms, with a probable first-winter
American Herring Gull recorded at the same site. Elsewhere, in County Galway a
Ross's Gull was discovered at Salthill, the Bonaparte's Gull remained in Devon, the
Kumlien's Gull showed again in South Yorkshire, an Ivory Gull was seen briefly in Cleveland at Hartlepool, and in Buckinghamshire a
Sabine's Gull was reported. Otherwise, totals included five Ring-billed, 16
Caspian, 17 Iceland and 19 Glaucous Gulls. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Marsh Sandpiper on the Western Isles, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Kent, Lesser Yellowlegs in Hampshire, White-billed Diver in Devon, and Two-barred Crossbills in Gloucestershire (2), Shropshire (3) and South Yorkshire (12). Scarcities included Serin and Yellow-browed Warbler (Isle of Scilly), Rough-legged Buzzard (Norfolk), American Wigeon (County Donegal), Ring-necked Duck (County Down), two each of both Richard's Pipit and Lapland Bunting, three Cattle Egrets, four Green-winged Teals, five each of Surf Scoter, Great Grey Shrike and Black Brant, 19 Glossy Ibises, 20 Great White Egrets and 23 Parrot Crossbills. |
