| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a first-winter American Herring Gull in Argyll at Campbeltown, the first in Scotland since 2008. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Red-flanked Bluetail on the Gloucestershire/Wiltshire border, both American Coot and Black Duck in Highland, Pied-billed Grebe on the Western Isles, Hume's Yellow-browed Warblers in Kent and Warwickshire, three Two-barred Crossbills together in South Yorkshire, and Lesser Scaups in both Glamorgan and Staffordshire. Scarcities included Richard's Pipit (Norfolk), Cattle Egret (Buckinghamshire), two Shorelarks (Norfolk), three Ring-necked Ducks, four Snow Geese, six Glossy Ibises, and 28 Parrot Crossbills (split evenly between Norfolk and Nottinghamshire). Gulls totalled 45 Glaucous, 20 Iceland, 14 Caspian, five Kumlien's and five Ring-billed. |
