| A quiet day with the highlights being the continued presence of the Black-winged Stilt inland at Upton Warren, Worcestershire and the Woodchat Shrikes at Whitburn, Co Durham and Bryher, Isles of Scilly. Strong westerly winds defined the bird news with exceptional numbers of Storm Petrels continuing to be seen along the English south coast; county maximums including 140 Penzance Cornwall, 110 Portland Dorset, 46 Seaton Devon, 18 Dungeness Kent, nine St Catherine's Point Isle of Wight and eight Milford-on-Sea Hampshire. In northern Scotland similar weather conditions treated observers to a passage of Long-tailed Skuas with a peak of 163 past Mangersta, Isle of Lewis, Western Isles and 59 past Aird an Runair, Benbecula, Western Isles and 38 in Scapa Flow, Orkney. Inland, two flew over the Findhorn Valley, Highland. |
