| The only new birds today were in Ireland, where a Great White Egret
was reported from Broad Lough in County Wicklow and there was a possible American
Herring Gull at Rossaveal in County Galway. Also at Rossaveal were 21 Iceland
Gulls, a Glaucous Gull and 2 Ring-billed Gulls. Elsewhere,
both Pacific Divers, the juvenile in south Wales and the adult in
Cornwall, remained, but the latter was somewhat elusive. Also in Cornwall, there
was another unconfirmed report of a Gyr near Padstow.
Several long-stayers could still be found, including the Barrow's Goldeneye in Forth, the Bufflehead in County Clare, Lesser Scaups in Dumfries & Galloway and Oxfordshire, the Spotted Sandpiper in Cornwall, the Cattle Egret in Devon and the Long-billed Dowitcher in County Louth. In Hertfordshire, the Litte Bunting remained at Amwell Gravel Pits, but continued to be best viewed early in the morning. The first Sand Martin of the year flew over Slimbridge WWT reserve in Gloucestershire. |
