| Few new rarities were discovered today with a Radde's Warbler on Bardsey Island, Gwynedd and a
Rustic Bunting on St Mary's, Isles of Scilly being the pick of the bunch;
a White-rumped Sandpiper in Co Kerry and a Cattle Egret in Essex
provided a supporting cast. In Northumberland the Daurian Shrike remained at Cresswell and the Bonaparte's Gull at Newbiggin with other long-staying rarities including the Glossy Ibis in Lancashire, Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall, Forster's Tern in Co Louth and the two Red-breasted Geese in Lincolnshire. Elsewhere a Long-billed Dowitcher, two Ferruginous Ducks, three Great White Egrets, four American Golden Plovers and five White-rumped Sandpipers were all recorded. The most frustrating news was of the presence of a Siberian Rubythroat in a garden in Sunderland, Co Durham from at least 26th-28th October. Following the identification (from photographs) it was most disappointing that access was not arranged. |
