| A Gyr was again reported in the Shetlands, this time a white morph at
Funzie, on Fetlar, but typically this spectacular raptor is proving hard to pin
down. The other highlight today was a Penduline Tit at Rainham Marshes in
London, confirmed this morning, but first reported last Friday. Rainham
certainly seems to be the place to find this species at the moment. In Ireland
there were 6 different Ring-necked Ducks reported, including two together
inland in County Tipperary and the Red-throated Pipit was again at the
Rogerstown Estuary in County Dublin. The drake King Eider was seen again
at Peterhead in Aberdeenshire.
In Norfolk the Black-eared Kite was again in the Cley and Blakeney areas, and again was seen to go to roost near Walsey Hills. Other popular long stayers included the Barrow's Goldeneye in Forth and the Ross's Gull in Argyll. The Bonaparte's Gull put in another brief appearance on St.Mary's in The Scillies, Falcated Ducks remained in Devon and Kent and the Pallas's Warbler continued to show intermittently at Hightown in Merseyside. |
