| The outstanding report of the day came from Selsey Bill, West Sussex where a Bulwer's Petrel was seen twice with
Storm Petrels around midday. First watched feeding somewhat distantly offshore and not identified beyond 'large all dark petrel species' the bird later
reappeared closer to the shore and was identified as a Bulwer's Petrel before it headed west towards The
Solent. Coincidentally Bulwer's Petrel has recently been removed from the official British List
although there is a single accepted record from Ireland. Although somewhat eclipsed by events at Selsey Bill, Dungeness, Kent enjoyed an excellent day with a showy Red-rumped Swallow and a brief Bee-eater the highlights. The distinctive first-summer gull remained although European experts confirmed that it is certainly not a Heuglin's Gull but most likely a Yellow-legged Gull or hybrid. |
