Other scarcities included Rose-coloured Starling (Shetland Isles), Melodious Warbler (Gwynedd), Purple Heron (Oxfordshire), Spotted Crake (East Yorkshire), two each of Barred Warbler, Cattle Egret and Lapland Bunting, three Ortolan Buntings, five Glossy Ibises, and six Wrynecks. Seawatching produced 60 Great Shearwaters, 34 Cory's Shearwaters and two Sabine's Gulls. |
