| The star bird today was what was presumed to be a Pacific Swift lingering over Horsey, Norfolk early afternoon but departing before any would-be twitchers arrived. New discoveries elsewhere included a Red-flanked Bluetail on Whalsay, Shetland, Killdeer on Oronsay, Argyll, Desert Wheatear at Meikle Loch, Aberdeenshire, Olive-backed Pipits at Spurn, East Yorkshire and Blackdog, Aberdeenshire, Semipalmated Sandpiper on The Mullet, Co Mayo, Siberian Stonechat at Porthcurno, Cornwall and a Lesser Yellowlegs at Clonakilty, Co Cork. On the Scilly Isles there was no sign of the Daurian Shrike but Pied Wheatear showed briefly on Bryher whilst around the islands American Robin, Booted Warbler, Western Bonelli's Warbler, Short-toed Lark, Bluethroat, Richard's Pipit and two each of Red-breasted Flycatcher and Yellow-browed Warbler were all seen. The Red-flanked Bluetail in Suffolk remained at Thorpeness as did the two Red-breasted Geese at Saltfleet, Lincolnshire, Glossy Ibis at Pilling, Lancashire, Spotted Sandpiper at Hayle Estuary, Cornwall and American Golden Plovers at both Holy Island, Northumberland and Loch Ryan, Dumfries and Galloway. |
