| The headline news today came from the Shetland Isles where a Blyth's Pipit
was confirmed on Fair Isle when it was trapped and ringed, an Olive-backed Pipit
remains on the same island with Red-flanked Bluetails both on Shetland Mainland at Brae and
still on Whalsay at Skaw. An Alpine Swift flew over Gibraltar Point, Lincolnshire, a Cattle Egret arrived at Budleigh Salterton, Devon and three White-rumped Sandpipers showed well at Cley, Norfolk. On the Scilly Isles an American Robin put in a brief appearance on Bryher with the long-staying bird still on Tresco and the other highlight being the Booted Warbler still on St Mary's. Elsewhere, most notable amongst the rarities were the Red-flanked Bluetail in Suffolk, Forster's Tern Co Louth, Black Duck Co Kerry, Glossy Ibis Lancashire, Red-breasted Goose Lincolnshire, Arctic Redpoll, Shetland and both Spotted Sandpiper and Siberian Stonechat in Cornwall. A falcon on Bardsey Island, Gwynedd during the afternoon was initially proposed as a potential Eleonora's Falcon but, following better views, was thought less likely to be this species. |
