| The star find was a River Warbler on Foula, Shetland Isles. This was the first British record since September 2002 and the eleventh autumn record for Shetland. Following a spate of records in the mid 1990s this species has reverted back to gross rarity status and the next mainland record will attract quite a crowd. Elsewhere on the Shetland Isles a
Rustic Bunting appeared on Fair Isle. Lingering from yesterday the Red-eyed Vireo remained at Nanquidno, Cornwall as did the Long-billed Dowitcher at Oare Marshes, Kent. The Lancashire Glossy Ibis put in another brief appearance at Martin Mere and on Orkney the Isabelline Shrike was seen again on Eday. Otherwise long staying rarities included Pallid Harrier in Norfolk, Red-rumped Swallow on Shetland Isles, Long-billed Dowitcher in Worcestershire, Bonaparte's Gull in Co Kerry and both Western Bonelli's Warbler and American Golden Plover on the Scilly Isles. |
