| Star find of the day was a Pechora Pipit at Flamborough Head in East
Yorkshire, but unfortunately it did not remain long. Another top find was an Eastern
Olivaceous Warbler on Cape Clear, County Cork, although its identity took a
while to confirm. A Black-winged Stilt at Coedbach Marsh in
Carmarthenshire may well have been the bird from Tacumshin in County Wexford
relocating itself. A Greenish Warbler was at Whitburn Coastal Park,
County Durham and a Bonelli's Warbler sp. was on Bardsey, Gwynedd.
Shetland produced a new Citrine Wagtail, on the Out Skerries, and the Black
Scoter reappeared at Llanfairfechan in Conwy.
The Marbled Duck found yesterday evening at Stanpit Marsh in Dorset generated much interest but it's origin is sure to remain controversial. There were two other major rarities found yesterday that remained popular today: the Isabelline Wheatear at Carmel Head on Anglesey and the Pallid Harrier at Winterton in Norfolk. Lewis on the Western Isles continued to host an Isabelline Shrike, with the Western Bonelli's Warbler remaining on St.Agnes in The Scillies. Black-headed Bunting, Red-rumped Swallow and Arctic Warbler all remained on The Shetlands. A number of Wrynecks were found, primarily in the south west and there was an arrival of Yellow-browed Warblers on the north-east coast later in the day. There were half a dozen Hoopoes, with three in Ireland, and at least nine Honey Buzzards seen, of which several were departing south from the south coast. Two Rose-coloured Starlings were in East Anglia. |
