| The best finds of the day were a popular Broad-billed Sandpiper at Over Fen in Cambridgeshire and a Gull-billed Tern which was first seen at Kingsbury Water Park in Warwickshire in the afternoon, before moving to Lound gravel pits in Nottinghamshire in the evening. A Bee-eater flew south over Winterton Dunes in Norfolk and a Spotted Sandpiper was reported at Menlough in County Galway. There were belated reports of a Red-footed Falcon in Cambridgeshire yesterday, and a Black Kite over Dartmoor in Devon on Sunday. Setting a trend, many unseasonably displaced seabirds were seen, chief among them being Storm Petrels off the south coast, with up to 500 off Portland Bill, and there were many Long-tailed and Pomarine Skuas seen in the North West. Also, a Sabine’s Gull was seen in Cumbria and a few Balearic Shearwaters were seen off Devon and Cornwall. |
