| The highlight of the day was the discovery of Ross's Gull in County Dublin at North Bull Island, whilst in Staffordshire a
Lesser Scaup was identified at Tittesworth Reservoir. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the American Coot and King Eider in Highland, Ivory Gull in County Wexford, American Buff-bellied Pipit in Cheshire, Hume's Yellow-browed Warbler in Devon, Lesser Yellowlegs in Hampshire, and six Two-barred Crossbills together in South Yorkshire. Scarcities included Rose-coloured Starling (Isles of Scilly), American Wigeon (Highland), Cattle Egret (Buckinghamshire), two Surf Scoters, three Rough-legged Buzzards, eight Glossy Ibises, and 12 Parrot Crossbills (together in Nottinghamshire). Significant late news concerned the confirmation that the White-winged Scoter at Musselburgh, Lothian on 26th December 2013 was a Stejneger's Scoter, the first British record of this form, following one in Ireland at Rossbeigh Strand, County Kerry on 1st February-11th April 2011. |
