| The most popular find today was a Glossy Ibis at Brockholes Quarry in
Lancashire, a truly excellent record. Photographs show it to be the same individual as that present at Radipole Lake, Dorset on 7th-8th September. In County Durham an adult American
Golden Plover was a notable discovery at Whitburn, and another was on
Fetlar, Shetland.
In Ireland a fine selection of rarities included Eastern Olivaceous Warbler, Snowy Owl, three Lesser Yellowlegs, three Long-billed Dowitchers, two American Golden Plovers, ten Buff-breasted Sandpipers, a Baird's Sandpiper, a Red-necked Phalarope and a Purple Heron. The Pallid Harrier retuned to Winterton, Norfolk in the afternoon, the Isabelline Shrike remained on Barra, Western Isles, as did two Rustic Buntings on Foula, Shetland. In Worcestershire the Long-billed Dowitcher was still at Upper Bittell Reservoir and the Bonaparte's Gull remained in Newbiggin Bay, Northumberland. |
