| The Canada Warbler at Kilbaha in County Clare was, not surprisingly,
the main attraction today as many British birders made the journey to western
Ireland to see it. Kilbaha also continued to hold a Red-eyed Vireo as
well as Common Rosefinch and Red-breasted Flycatcher. The stunning
adult Roller at Beal in Northumberland also continued to prove very
popular.
A new White-rumped Sandpiper was at Cley in north Norfolk and nearby a Cattle Egret, without rings, was found at Blakeney freshmarsh. New rarities on the Shetlands came in the form of an Arctic Warbler on Mainland at Boddam and an Olive-backed Pipit on Mainland at Kergord. A juvenile American Golden Plover found at Fen Drayton in Cambridgeshire was possibly the bird previously at Farcet Fen. A Great White Egret was found in southern Ireland near Bantry. The Laughing Gull reappeared at Brora in Highland, Spotted Sandpipers were in Cornwall at Hayle and Upper Tamar Lake, the Western Bonelli's Warbler remained at Longstone on St.Mary's in The Scillies, the Hoopoe was still at Walsall in the West Midlands and there were three other American Golden Plovers in the country in addition to the one mentioned previously: on Tresco (Scillies); at Keyhaven (Hampshire) and at Deeping High Bank (Lincolnshire). |
