| A quiet day, without major drama. A juvenile White-winged Black Tern
was found at Covenham reservoir in Lincs but was not twitchable, it had already flown off north by the time the news broke. A flyover Bee-Eater on Shetland was the only
other new rarity reported today.
The White Pelican (of unknown origin) is still at Bough Beech resr, Kent, and nearby the Cattle Egret was seen again at Grove Ferry. In Essex the Great White Egret remained at Chigborough Lakes all day. In Cleveland one of the White-rumped Sandpipers was again at Seaton Snook and in West Sussex the Marsh Sandpiper was reportedly again at Pagham Harbour, apparently having moved to Church Norton. Scarce migrants were indeed scarce. A Melodious Warbler was trapped and ringed at Portland Dorset, and a Pectoral Sandpiper (originally found on Thursday) remained at Martin Mere Lancs. |
