| A Black Stork which appeared over Waxham, Norfolk late morning is
likely to be the individual which was in Suffolk recently. In Suffolk itself, a
Dusky Warbler was found at Boyton Marshes RSPB, less than a mile from the
site of the recent individual at Hollesley Marshes RSPB, which was still present
yesterday. A Little Bunting was in Nanjizal Valley, Cornwall this
morning.
Lingering rarities included the American Coot in the Western Isles, Siberian Stonechat in County Durham, Franklin's Gull in Hampshire, Lesser Scaup in Powys, Ferruginous Duck in Bedfordshire and other Dusky Warblers in Cornwall and Dorset, with a second in Suffolk, still at Landguard NR. |
