| The highlight of the day was the continuing Thayer's Gull in Suffolk at Minsmere. Elsewhere, lingering rarities comprised the Glaucous-winged Gull still in County Cork,
Gyr on the Western Isles, two Penduline Tits still together in Cleveland,
single Long-billed Dowitchers in both Leicestershire and Northumberland, King Eider
in Fife, Richardson's Cackling Goose in Argyll, Lesser Scaup in Glamorgan, and a
Hooded Merganser showed again in Forth. New White-billed Divers were located in Aberdeenshire, Fife and Moray. Scarcities included Pallas's Warbler (Dorset), Yellow-browed Warbler (Cornwall), American Wigeon (West Sussex), Ring-necked Duck (Staffordshire), two Shorelarks (Cleveland), four each of both Cattle Egret and Great Grey Shrike, five Glossy Ibises, six Lapland Buntings, and eight each of both Surf Scoter and Ring-billed Gull. Migrants included a Tree Pipit, two Ring Ouzels, five Arctic Skuas, six Garganey, seven Common Terns and 21 Ospreys. Late news concerned a Baltic Gull on 26th March at Shawell, Leicestershire that was bearing a Norwegian ring, having been ringed as a chick in the nest at Buholmen, Somna, Nordland, Norway on 25th June 2006: only the third ringing recovery of this form in Britain. |
