| The highlight of the day was an adult male Two-barred Crossbill in Gloucestershire, in the Forest of Dean at Yew Tree Brake; probably the same male present at that site on 15th September 2014. Rarities elsewhere comprised the Harlequin Duck still in Aberdeenshire, Pacific Diver and King Eider in Cornwall, American Coot and Lesser Scaup together in County Kerry, Black Scoter and Ross's Goose in Northumberland, Laughing Gull on the Wirral, Bonaparte's Gulls in both Devon and Glamorgan, Blue-winged Teal on the Orkney Isles, Lesser Scaup in Glamorgan, and Ferruginous Duck in Gloucestershire. In Norfolk a Dark-breasted Barn Owl was reported at Welney. Scarcities included Lapland Bunting (Somerset), two each of Yellow-browed Warbler and Glossy Ibis, three each of Little Bunting, Richard's Pipit, Shorelark and Cattle Egret, four of American Wigeon and Surf Scoter, six Rough-legged Buzzards, 11 Waxwings and 16 Great Grey Shrikes. Notable gulls comprised 19 Iceland, 17 Glaucous, 11 Ring-billed, eight Caspian and a Kumlien's. |
