| At Cemlyn Lagoon, Anglesey the adult unidentified tern first seen yesterday was present again today and appears to be paired to a Sandwich Tern and incubating eggs in the colony. Although not identified for certain it seems to closely resemble the tropical American
eurygnatha form of Sandwich Tern; Cayenne Tern. If this bird is a
Cayenne Tern it would represent the first record for both the British Isles and the Western Palearctic but proving the identity
beyond all doubt may prove difficult. The Western Subalpine Warbler remained on the Farne Islands, Northumberland where the ring number proved it to be the same individual as that present at Spurn, East Yorkshire on Friday - an overnight movement of around 150 miles north northwest. A Woodchat Shrike showed well at Metton, Norfolk in the evening whilst brief rarities included male Red-footed Falcons reported at both Holt Heath, Dorset and Farlington Marshes, Black Kites over Hawkcombe Head, Somerset and Cubbington, Warwickshire and Bee-eaters at Sancreed, Cornwall (2) and Dunwich, Suffolk. |
