| The highlight of some fabulous seawatching along the British east coast was a
Brünnich's Guillemot in East Yorkshire, seen briefly off Flamborough
Head with it - or another - reported later off Withernsea. A few Grey
Phalaropes and Pomarine Skuas were noted passing various watchpoints
but it was, in the main, the day of the Little Auk, of which the peak
counts comprised in Northumberland 7,881 Farne Islands and 6,000 Newbiggin, East
Yorkshire 3,190 Flamborough Head and 1,050 Spurn, Co Durham 3,049 Whitburn,
Angus 1,637 Fishtown of Usan, East Yorkshire 1,092 Scarborough and 646 Filey,
Norfolk 752 Sheringham, Lincolnshire 401 Gibraltar Point, Aberdeenshire 329
Girdle Ness, Cleveland 256 South Gare, Suffolk 103 Benacre, Kent 35 Reculver and
Essex 33 Holland Haven. Elsewhere a Dusky Warbler on Hayling Island, Hampshire was a county first and a Black Kite in Lincolnshire that flew over Freiston Shore and appeared to roost near Butterwick will prove popular if it shows again tomorrow morning. The Desert Wheatears in East Sussex (at Cooden Beach) and Isles of Scilly (St Mary's) remained from yesterday but the Masked Shrike had gone from the latter. The Black Duck continued on Fair Isle, Shetland Isles and the White-billed Diver was seen again in Roaringwater Bay, Co Cork. |
