Friday 13th February 2015  
  A Black-bellied Dipper was first reported today at Burton Agnes in East Yorkshire, although it had been present for four days. Otherwise it was business as usual with the only rarities reported being the Harlequin Duck in Aberdeen, the Laughing Gull on the Wirral, the Blue-winged Teal in Orkney, Lesser Scaups in Glamorgan and County Kerry, and the Richardson's Cackling Goose in County Sligo. There were also reports of possible/probable American Herring Gulls at Hayle in Cornwall and in Yorkshire yesterday.

A Glossy Ibis at Gonalston in Nottinghamshire proved popular and the Little Bunting remained well watched in Cardiff, with the two Serins remaining in Essex. There were six Rough-legged Buzzards, five Great Grey Shrikes, and three American Wigeons but only one Shorelark. The Richard's Pipit was still to be found on the Isle of Sheppey in north Kent.
