| The undoubted highlight of a busy autumn day was a Red-flanked Bluetail at Thorpeness, Suffolk. Found early in the morning the bird showed until late afternoon although proved to be very elusive. The other major talking point was provided by a wing-barred
Phylloscopus at Filey, North Yorkshire; initially identified as an Arctic Warbler general opinion swayed towards
Two-barred Greenish Warbler as the afternoon progressed. New passerine rarities included a Subalpine Warbler at Chapel Porth, Cornwall, Radde's Warblers at both South Gare, Cleveland and Filey, North Yorkshire - the latter with a Pallas's Warbler - and brief Red-throated Pipits at Landguard, Suffolk, Dursey Island, Co Cork and Cape Clear, Co Cork. New waders included White-rumped Sandpipers in Co Down and Co Mayo and American Golden Plovers in Cambridgeshire, Dumfries and Galloway and Lincolnshire. Lingering rarities were headlined by Baltimore Oriole on Cape Clear, Co Cork, American Robin and Booted Warbler (or perhaps Sykes's Warbler) on the Isles of Scilly, Roller in Northumberland, Whiskered Tern in Norfolk and the pair of Red-breasted Geese in Lincolnshire. |
