Thursday 5th December 2024  
  Astonishing news today of a Grey-headed Lapwing in Northumberland. Present at East Chevington for an hour in the monrning before flying off it is presumably the same individual as present in Northumberland on 1st-10th May 2023 before it relocated north and west through Fife and Moray until it reached North Uist, Western Isles on 26th-30th May.

Elsewhere continuing rarities confirmed as still present were the American Coot in Shetland, Hume's Warblers in both Kent and Norfolk, Dusky Warbler in Devon, Penduline Tit in Norfolk, Long-billed Dowitcher in Devon, Lesser Scaup in Cambridgeshire, and Ferruginous Ducks in Hertfordshire and Warwickshire.
