| The main news was the continued presence of the double wing-barred Phylloscopus warbler at Filey, North Yorkshire which was soon confirmed as Britain's fourth record of
Two-barred Greenish Warbler. Although elusive at times this bird delighted the crowd throughout the day, as did a
Radde's Warbler at the same site. Lingering rarities included the Red-flanked Bluetail in Suffolk, Baltimore Oriole in Co Cork, Roller in Northumberland, Whiskered Tern in Norfolk and pair of Red-breasted Geese in Lincolnshire. American waders included the Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall, eight White-rumped Sandpipers, two Long-billed Dowitchers and four American Golden Plovers (including one newly discovered in Carmarthenshire). The Isles of Scilly produced two Red-eyed Vireos (on St Mary's and Bryher) along with the long-staying American Robin on Tresco and Booted (or perhaps Sykes's) Warbler. In Ireland a Daurian Shrike (accompanying a Woodchat Shrike) at Old Head of Kinsale was only the second national record whilst a Red-throated Pipit was seen again on Cape Clear. |
