| The highlight of the day was the relocation of the Franklin's Gull briefly
at Amwell, Hertfordshire; 34 miles to the south southeast of yesterday's
sighting. Elsewhere, rarities comprised the Glaucous-winged Gull in
County Cork, Hudsonian Whimbrel in Cornwall, Gyr on the Western
Isles, Pallid Harrier on the Orkney Isles, Black Scoter, Coues's
Arctic Redpoll and Long-billed Dowitcher in Northumberland, two Penduline
Tits together in Gloucestershire, White-billed Diver on the Orkney
Isles, Ferruginous Duck in County Durham, and Richardson's Cackling
Goose in County Sligo. Scarcities included Rose-coloured Starling (Cornwall and County Wexford), Hoopoe (West Midlands), Yellow-browed Warbler (Cornwall and Hampshire), Snow Goose (Cumbria and Galloway), American Wigeon (Highland, North Yorkshire and Somerset), a total of five Glossy Ibises, and 21 Caspian Gulls. Signficant late news from yesterday concerned a Laughing Gull in Cumbria at Walney Island, and in Devon a King Eider at The Skern, although neither could be found today. |
