| The highlight of the spring so far was the discovery of a male Blue Rock Thrush in Essex at The Naze albeit only present briefly
in the afternoon. Discoveries elsewhere included a Red-footed Falcon in Berkshire at Woolhampton, Savi's Warbler in Lincolnshire at Wolla Bank, Black Kite in Cornwall at Bartinney Downs, White-billed Diver on the Shetland Isles off Whalsay, and Red-rumped Swallows in East Yorkshire (4), Norfolk, Orkney Isles, and Suffolk. Lingering rarities confirmed as still present were the Black-browed Albatross in East Yorkshire, Snowy Owl on the Western Isles, Red-breasted Goose and four Black-winged Stilts in Norfolk, Spotted Sandpiper in Cumbria, territorial Iberian Chiffchaff in London, and Lesser Yellowlegs in County Londonderry. Scarcities included Purple Heron (Suffolk), Golden Oriole (Kent), Red-necked Phalarope (Northumberland), Green-winged Teal (Shetland), Honey Buzzard (Lincolnshire), two each of Montagu's Harrier, Hoopoe, and Pectoral Sandpiper, three Long-tailed Skuas, four Temminck's Stints, and a total of 16 Glossy Ibises. |
