Monday 29th December 2014  
  A female Ferruginous Duck was found today at Slimbridge WWT reserve in Gloucestershire and there was late news from the weekend of the returning Lesser Scaup at Dozmary Pool in Cornwall. A Gyr was reported in Aberdeenshire in the mountains around Glen Ey.

In West Yorkshire, there was no sign today of the Thayer's Gull at Mirfield nor Pugneys Country Park, but the Blyth's Pipit remained faithful to the grassland at Calder Park, Wakefield. The Ivory Gull was still at Uig on the Isle of Skye.

Other long staying rarities included Penduline Tits in Bedfordshire and Devon (3), the American Coot and Richardson's Cackling Goose on the Outer Hebrides, Lesser Yellowlegs in East Sussex, King Eider in Fife and Bonaparte's Gull in Devon.
