| The Scillies produced the majority of today's new rarities, with a Pied
Wheatear on Bryher in the afternoon and a Blyth's Pipit briefly on
the same island in the morning. There was a Daurian Shrike on The
Garrison on St.Mary's, and an Olive-backed Pipit flew over the same
location in the morning. The islands also continued to host two Western
Bonelli's Warblers and the warbler at Green Farm on St.Mary's, which was
trapped and ringed in the afternoon and found to be a Booted Warbler,
rather than a Sykes' Warbler. The American Robin remained on Tresco,
there were Little Buntings on Bryher and St.Mary's, a Short-toed Lark
on St.Mary's and Bluethroat, Red-breasted Flycatcher and Yellow-browed
Warbler were all present on the islands.
Elsewhere, a Radde's Warbler was found on Holy Island in Northumberland, whilst, in Ireland, there was a Booted Warbler at Mizen Head in County Cork and a Black Duck at Ventry Beach in County Kerry. An Olive-backed Pipit was seen briefly at Sumburgh on Mainland Shetland. The Hermit Thrush was a popular attraction on Cape Clear in County Cork, where it gave excellent views all day and the Red-flanked Bluetail continued it's stay at Thorpeness in Suffolk. |
