| There was something of an electric atmosphere today with the major attractions being a juvenile
Pallid Harrier that lingered all day at Winterton, Norfolk and an Isabelline Wheatear (actually first seen yesterday) that showed well at Carmel Head, Anglesey. Other notable discoveries included a brief Pallid Swift over Portland, Dorset, an Arctic Warbler on St Mary's, Isles of Scilly, a Citrine Wagtail at Scatness, Shetland Isles, a Wilson's Phalarope at Loop Head, Co Clare and a White-winged Black Tern at William Girling Reservoir, London. Rarities found yesterday that remained overnight included the Isabelline Shrike on Western Isles, Western Bonelli's Warbler on Isles of Scilly, Semipalmated Sandpiper in Gloucestershire and Black-winged Stilt in Co Wexford whilst long staying rarities included both Least Sandpiper and Wilson's Phalarope in Cornwall and Pechora Pipit and Arctic Warbler on Shetland Isles. Reports of a probable Eleonora's Falcon over Plymstock, Devon and a Marbled Duck at Stanpit Marsh, Dorset are likely to be treated with an equal degree of intrigue and skepticism. |
