| Whilst Mayday brought several new rarities it lacked the major find many were
hoping for on this bank holiday. The picks of the bunch were a Long-billed
Dowitcher inland at Nosterfield, North Yorkshire and an Alpine Swift
at Arlington Reservoir, East Sussex, whilst a mobile Broad-billed Sandpiper
on the Exe Estuary, Devon gave many would-be watchers the run-around. A
Blue-winged Teal was present near Borriskane, Co Tipperary, a Gull-billed
Tern flew past Flamborough Head, East Yorkshire whilst yet another
White-billed Diver was discovered in northwest Scotland; off Handa,
Highland. It was a good day for inland birders with Bar-tailed Godwits and Arctic Terns at many sites whilst coastal locations logged several Pomarine Skuas. |
