Thursday 3rd August 2006  
  A lot of today’s birding interest came from the east coast where seawatchers were rewarded with a reasonable passage of seabirds. Best was an adult Gull-billed Tern off Gorleston in East Norfolk, but there was also a good scattering of Long-tailed Skuas including 11 off Southwold, Suffolk, with smaller numbers in Norfolk, Yorkshire and Northumberland. Other seabirds seen along the east coast included Balearic and Sooty Shearwaters, Roseate Tern and Pom Skua. Single Cory’s and Great Shearwaters flew past Perranporth in Cornwall, but star seabird in the south west was a Wilson’s Petrel from a pelagic off Scilly.

 

Elsewhere, a Red-necked Phalarope put in a brief appearance at Oare Marshes in Kent, a Great White Egret was again at Chigborough Lakes near Maldon in Essex, and a Pec Sand was at Titchwell in Norfolk.
