Saturday 20th February 2016
	The highlight of the day was the discovery of an adult drake Bufflehead on the River Wyre at Hambleton, Lancashire early morning, but it couldn't be found in the area late afternoon. This would represent the first record for the county. Lingering rarities seen today included the Hudsonian Whimbrel and American Herring Gull in Cornwall, Pallid Harrier, Lesser Yellowlegs and Ferruginous Duck in Norfolk (with others of the latter species still in Buckinghamshire and County Durham), two Penduline Tits in Gloucestershire, Spotted Sandpiper in County Cork, single Long-billed Dowitchers in Hampshire and Northumberland, Bonaparte's Gull in Devon, King Eider in County Sligo and Lesser Scaup in Glamorgan.
