| The star finds today were both Nearctic gulls; a first-summer Franklin's Gull at Whitehouse Lagoon, Co Antrim and a first-summer
Laughing Gull at Dawlish Warren and Cockwood, Devon. Interestingly the Laughing Gull is the same individual as that present at Arlington Reservoir, East Sussex on 11th-23rd July. Elsewhere the first Buff-breasted Sandpiper of the autumn was found at Tacumshin, Co Wexford and a Spotted Crake showed well at Dorman's Pool, Cleveland. Lingering rarities consisted of the Great White Egret at Chigborough Lakes, Essex, Long-billed Dowitcher and Lesser Yellowlegs at Gibraltar Point, Lincolnshire and the White Pelican at Bough Beech Reservoir, Kent. |
