| No new rarities were found today. The Laughing Gull remained a popular
attraction on the Wirral with the long staying bird also still at Ballycotton in
County Cork. The other main attraction, the drake Harlequin Duck was
still in Aberdeen. In Northumberland the Black Scoter was seen again off
Cheswick Sands.
Other long staying rarities included the Lesser Yellowlegs in Sussex, the three, somewhat elusive, Penduline Tits in Devon, the Black Duck on Scilly, Ferruginous Ducks in Hampshire and Gloucestershire and Lesser Scaups in Cornwall, Glamorgan and County Kerry. Scarcities around the country included the Little Bunting still in Glamorgan, the two Serins in Essex, as well as five Shorelarks, eight Great Grey Shrikes, six Rough-legged Buzzards, five Ring-billed Gulls, 16 Glaucous Gulls, 13 Iceland Gulls and three Ring-necked Ducks including a new bird in Somerset. |
