The highlight of the day was the discovery of a White-rumped Sandpiper in Gloucestershire at Slimbridge; the first early year record in Britain. Rarities elsewhere comprised the Double-crested Cormorant still in County Leitrim, Harlequin Duck on the Western Isles, White-winged Scoter in Lothian, Greater Yellowlegs in County Waterford, two Hume's Warblers in Kent, Long-billed Dowitcher and three Ferruginous Ducks in Norfolk, King Eiders in Cleveland and Lothian, and Lesser Scaups in Somerset and Surrey. Scarcities included Pallas's Warbler (County Durham), Rough-legged Buzzard (Orkney Isles), Richard's Pipit (Dorset), Great Grey Shrike (Hampshire), American Wigeon and Yellow-browed Warbler (Somerset), two each of both Green-winged Teal and Glossy Ibis, three Surf Scoters, four of Shorelark and Waxwing, and a total of 10 Ring-necked Ducks. Significant late news concerned a Black-faced Bunting trapped and ringed at an undisclosed site in Shropshire. |
