Thursday 23rd April 2015  
  Rarities today comprised the Great Blue Heron still on the Isles of Scilly, Harlequin Duck in Highland, Blue-winged Teal in Lincolnshire, and King Eider in Aberdeenshire, with a brief Red-rumped Swallow new in Devon, and a Black Kite lingering in North Yorkshire, in Littondale.

Scarcities included five each of Wryneck, Shorelark and migrant Dotterel, three Hoopoes, Serin (Suffolk), American Wigeon (Northumberland), Little Bunting and White-tailed Eagle (both Norfolk), and on the Isles of Scilly: Short-toed Lark, Golden Oriole and three Night Herons all noted.

Significant late news concerned confirmation of a Spanish Wagtail yesterday at Filey, North Yorkshire, the first British record of this form.
