| The highlight of the day was the discovery of a (the?) Black Stork inland of Eyemouth, Borders.
First seen late afternoon by the Eye Water near South Renton it soon flew off south before being relocated roosting in a tree near Auchencrow
late in the evening. It will presumably remain overnight and prove to be a popular attraction. It was also seen in this area nearly a fortnight ago. Elsewhere a fist-summer male Red-footed Falcon made a brief early morning appearance at Gorleston, Norfolk whilst in Cleveland the Semipalmated Sandpiper continued to show well on occasion at Back Saltholme Pool. However, the main talking point remained the continued presence of a male Pine Grosbeak at an undisclosed site in Essex. Whilst it is perhaps impossible to ascertain the origin of this bird, it has been twitched by three birders who, at the request of the landowner, are keeping the location a closely guarded secret; a great shame given the success of other similar twitches in recent years. |
