| The highlight of the day was the return of the Pacific Diver to Tawin, County Galway; where it was first discovered in January 2009 and has been seen on several occasions since. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Glaucous-winged Gull in County Cork, Mourning Dove on the Shetland Isles, Pacific Diver, Hudsonian Whimbrel and Lesser Scaup in Cornwall, Pallid Harrier in Norfolk, two Penduline Tits in Hampshire, Dusky Warbler and Lesser Scaup in Somerset, Ferruginous Duck in Hampshire and Bonaparte's Gull in Devon. Notable scarcities included Pallas's Warbler (Wirral), Rose-coloured Starling (Cornwall), Hoopoe (West Midlands), Richard's Pipit (East Yorkshire), Snow Goose (Cumbria), Ring-billed Gull (Clyde), American Wigeon (Devon and Northumberland), and a total of 26 Glossy Ibises. Little Auks continued to move in large numbers along the east coast of Scotland, including 600 passing Collieston, Aberdeenshire in a one hour watch. |
